xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 02/02/2014 5:36 pm Much of the design is worn away (and I'm not sure if I have the dragon side right side up or not), but am hoping someone can help based on the design and the characters on the other side. Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

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

xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 02/02/2014 8:06 pm 483 is a 10 Cash.. is a visible part of the text the denomination? Report this Post to the Staff
HawkHybrid Valued Member United Kingdom 183 Posts	Posted 02/02/2014 8:29 pm the still readable 2 horizontal lines(bit like =)and the + that is on the rim means 20 so it's more likely to be 498 than 483 HH Report this Post to the Staff
xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 02/03/2014 10:59 am Thank you - I'll at least be able to tell if something is a 20 There are plenty in the World Research area at ngccoin.com (they pull from Krause listings) and a few look like this one - I don't think it's the 498 above as the center rosette on the reverse in that picture doesn't appear on this one. So now it's just a matter of narrowing down the year and province. Thanks a lot, everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
