Characters don't look right tho, like a trinket picked up at Chinese restaurant/shop made in shape of coin. Will wait for the "real" answer from the pros.! Report this Post to the Staff

Is that the remnant of a loop at roughly three o'clock on both pics "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
