Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5803 Posts	Posted 01/21/2019 06:20 am I don't know either but an image of both sides will help when the right person here comes along. It does look like it is a yellow "metal" applied over copper, so it mat be a fake from the era of the coin it was imitating. The yellow is wearing away from the high points of the "coin". How did you come across this one? EDIT: And welcome to the forum! Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
