alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 06/27/2017 12:51 pm I'm assuming that this contains either two blades or a blade and a nail file. If so, depending on the maker, these can be very expensive. More photos please with the inner parts showing Edit: The last image wasn't showing when I originally posted.

Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 06/27/2017 3:34 pm That's crazy! I've actually got one of those coins, close to same date, that my grandfather literally picked up in a bombed out house during WW2! I'll have to see if I can find it. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 06/27/2017 8:18 pm Interesting information Alganbagerap, I will try and do some reasearch on the maker you posted. This has been sitting around at a local coin shop ...I will see if I can pick it up for a good price. Report this Post to the Staff
