mmorgan22 Pillar of the Community United States 570 Posts	Posted 05/14/2012 10:41 pm I'm trying to identify this coin for a friend. I hardly know anything about ancients. Then again this might not be an ancient. Shows a five petal flower on one side. I can't see what image is on the other side. Coin weighs 1.9 grams, 14mm diameter at largest point and appears to be copper/bronze. He would like to know the value if possible. Any help would be appreciated.

Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 05/15/2012 03:20 am Judging from the equally-spaced notches and the apparently filed rim, I'd say this poor thing has been prepared for insertion into a piece of jewellery. And not in ancient times, either. 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.

mmorgan22 Pillar of the Community United States 570 Posts	Posted 05/15/2012 10:25 am I'm guessing he removed this coin from a piece of jewelry since he is a jeweler. He said he has had it for about 20 years and never new what it is. All of about an hour on CCF and already an ID. Way to go Report this Post to the Staff
