Jezirabid New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 07/18/2026 04:08 am Wow, that's insightful, thanks! A pin? What kind of pin, like one someone would wear? Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15673 Posts	Posted 07/18/2026 08:46 am Yes - a pin for someone to wear as a decorative item. An interesting find but just a damaged coin. Please take a moment and become familiar with the various forum definitions for the coins they contain. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 76402 Posts	Posted 07/18/2026 10:37 am Damaged coin, but it's still worth its silver melt value, so it's still a keeper. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Jezirabid New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:16 pm Thanks for the input everyone. I like the idea it was a pin, it seems to be something like that, altered for some personal use trinket or something. I would have never guessed. It's going in my weird coin box :p Report this Post to the Staff
Jezirabid New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted Yesterday 11:30 pm Thanks for the advice, Nickelsearcher, I will do that. Report this Post to the Staff
