thelionwarrior Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 4:51 pm Still can't find anything on this one... Tried emailing the President of the California State Numismatic Association but no response. Really interested in this one. You would think with so many numismatists out there this would be easy to get the story on... Report this Post to the Staff
Penny Guy Pillar of the Community United States 531 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 6:07 pm The portrait of Lincoln appears, at least from the angle of the photograph, to be very similar to a Calverly design dating to 1898. His work has been copied many times. Are there any markings on the piece at all . Also pics that are direct on views would help also. Have you measured the diameter and thickness, or weighed it ?

thelionwarrior Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 11:49 pm There are no other markings. It is kinda thick... have not measured it or weighed it. I was hoping someone would have an idea. I really like this one. Don't know what it's made out of either. Report this Post to the Staff
