braat New Member Canada 31 Posts	Posted 11/17/2016 4:30 pm I've had this for quite a while now and I'm wondering if it could be anything other than someone's home experiment. In the first pic you can see what I think is the queen that's been hammered on....the other side/photo I can't see anything discernible. It's 18.6 mm(ish) in diameter and weighs 2.4 (ish) grams. All opinions welcome! Report this Post to the Staff

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 11/18/2016 5:59 pm The denticles do look like they have been peened into non existence. You can see where the metal has been hammered/moved a bit more into the center. You can easily see the metal being worked at the rim interior with a bit of overlap showing on both sides.. I haven't even discussed the center hammering either.. Report this Post to the Staff
