andrew1810 New Member United Kingdom 1 Posts	Posted 05/13/2018 05:21 am I'm hoping someone can help identify this coin, I've looked online, but can't find something which is an exact match I've attached a couple of pictures. I'm fairly sure it's a fake, but just want to double check in case I need to keep it somewhere safer! Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff
