Sap Moderator Australia 16874 Posts	Posted 09/19/2022 10:58 pm Lightweight, mushy details, sticks to a magnet, starting to rust - that looks typical of the "Vietnamese" steel forgeries. Apparently they were nice little earners for the locals during the War. Had an old Vietnam vet come to our coin club once, with a handful of US "silver" dollars, just like this piece. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
