Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 09/29/2014 11:46 pm I'm not sure on anything about this coin that I found in a junk box. It's a little smaller than a quarter and it was worth 10 of something. If any one can tell me the country, denomination, year, or KM number it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Edited by Bertensgrad 09/30/2014 12:03 am Report this Post to the Staff

Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 09/30/2014 12:11 am It's at least a start. I've been corrected I didn't find it in a junk box. My friend won it for me in a in a claw machine inside a coin shop. They have coins in plastic bubbles. Mostly junk buffalos, Liberty nickels, and lots of lincoln cents or foreign coins. I look for coins while he tries to win me stuff to keep from getting bored. Report this Post to the Staff

(Unfortunately, the software on this forum does not display certain Chinese characters.) This would be the year 1970. Gary Report this Post to the Staff
