otto Pillar of the Community United States 1326 Posts	Posted 01/29/2025 1:55 pm This bottle opener was an impulse buy. I was hoping I could pop the coin out. The coin is a Bavarian 1770 Thaler. The handle is stamped 835 Silver and the opener has a hallmark. Edited by otto 01/29/2025 1:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25685 Posts	Posted 01/29/2025 2:13 pm Excellent opener, otto! That's really cool - I've never seen an opener with a coin. Were it mine, I would leave it as is and use it. If you pop out the coin, it will probably have solder on it or marks as seen on formerly Encased Coins.

otto Pillar of the Community United States 1326 Posts	Posted 01/29/2025 4:03 pm Thanks for the comments. I would never try to force the coin out. I was just hoping that it wasn't fixed in place, which it is. Report this Post to the Staff

cptbilly Pillar of the Community United States 1979 Posts	Posted 01/30/2025 2:32 pm A slightly vintage version of the US Mint's "George Washington Bronze Medal". The obverse appropriates Pierre Simon Duviver's design from the "Washington Before Boston" Comita Americana medal. The reverse is taken from John Reich's design for the Thomas Jefferson Indian Peace Medal, first seen in 1801. The Mint presently offers this medal in 1-5/16" and 3" versions at its website, as well as a 1.598 inch .999 Silver version. Does anyone know when the Mint first offered the bronze versions ? Thanks.
