The flan seems very thin and oddly irregular in shape. The 'tets' I have seen are rather thick and fairly round. This may be an unofficial issue out of some wild and woolly place but I am skeptical. Test cuts tend to be the normal condition for these tets. I would be cautious about this one. Report this Post to the Staff

I think the coin is OK, I believe it's Sear 6684. If it's cheap go for it, if not wait for a better example. Report this Post to the Staff
