Found this replica token / coin, and was wondering what in the world it could be..? And would it be worth buying?

So any information is welcome, all I know it is big and according to the seller it is made out of Tin. The Euro coin is a reference to size...

For some reason, there seem to be a lot of these over-sized replicas of rare US coins out there. I guess there just supposed to be fun souvenirs or novelty items or something. They're not really worth anything.

I've got a 1909-S VDB LWC and an 1877 IHC like this... they make great coasters
Rest in Peace

They're just interesting replicas. I bought a 1916 SLQ and a Flying Eagle cent way back in the '70's because these were two of my favorite coin designs.

.......or maybe that's just a very small euro and he's making us believe it's a replica so it doesn't look suspicious... I know all your tricks, Kingz
