Cajunlady0 Valued Member United States 318 Posts	Posted 01/16/2012 4:38 pm I have been buying lots of foreign coins and this coin was in one of my batches. Tried to google it, but can not find it anywhere. Is this 2 coins superglued together? Is it a token? The size is a little bit smaller than a US penny. Whatever you can tell, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking. If you know a value, please tell me that too. This is one crazy looking thing here. Report this Post to the Staff

Cajunlady0 Valued Member United States 318 Posts	Posted 01/16/2012 4:47 pm No country name anywhere that I can see on this thing..........that is what I thought Amida, but all my other mexican coins say they are mexican. Am still waiting on my World Coin Catalog to arrive and maybe that will help me in the future, but it is not here yet. Isn't that very wierd for the coin to be "sandwich" looking that?

Cajunlady0 Valued Member United States 318 Posts	Posted 01/16/2012 5:06 pm YEP........... the mystery is over. It is a center plug. Thank you all! I found a picture of the whole coin in a search. I don't have any of these, wish I did. Would have recognized it. Edited by Cajunlady0 01/16/2012 5:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
