Any way, just looking at it, to ID silver or circulation cu-ni? given where I found it, I'm fully expecting cu-ni, but figured I'd double check. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Compare yours with the one pictured here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/302901298952 My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Edited by NumisRob 05/14/2020 4:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
