Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3342 Posts	Posted 01/28/2018 5:33 pm I agree, SEL. A shame. A coworker asked me to find out info on this coin for her. What was the original coin?

There are some Swiss 5Fr that have similar treatment - that are also not original. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1893-Wid...302545091362 Edited by andyg 01/28/2018 5:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/28/2018 7:39 pm Recent Chinese fantasy for sure. I like it when they spend their time on junk. And I don't mean a boat Report this Post to the Staff
