Majour New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/19/2014 12:45 am Hey guys, found this coin/ medal. It's raw silver and was dug up in New Mexico. Was in the ground for at least 100 years. Any information would be helpful. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16857 Posts	Posted 06/19/2014 09:14 am It's not a coin. I'm thinking it's a jewellery piece depicting Hector, or some similar figure from Greek mythology. Such medals seem to have been popular in the late 19th / early 20th century. This thread has a similar object. 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
