xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 04/16/2008 04:01 am Hi All.. A friend sent me a box (HUGE box!) of coins so I could help her identify them, and I've run into a wall with this one. I have found similar ones on the 'net but none with the lettering like this. Plus it's a really wierd grey color and is one of about 20 or so that were all thrown into a bag. It's not magnetic, is 1 1/8" across, weighs 6 grams and is really thin (~ 1/32"). Help is much appreciated, as always ;) thanks Edited by Sap 04/19/2008 01:06 am Report this Post to the Staff

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.

I saw some in silver, as well: http://www.newworldtreasures.com/cobs_potosi.htm - look at the bottom 2. They are somewhat similar, but a lot heavier. Thanks a lot.. that knocks around 20 out of the pile to go through ;) Report this Post to the Staff
