dave 1941 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 06/02/2018 3:48 pm I'd appreciate any help in an ID on this coin. It's 20mm in diameter and quite thin. Edited by dave 1941 06/02/2018 4:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

dave 1941 New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 06/02/2018 4:19 pm Jimmy D you are right. It's 20mm. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/08/2018 3:14 pm Dave, I see your other thread has been locked. Not much to go on, what with the wear. Long shot here, and probably wrong, but here's a comparison below...the extended flan on the illustrated coin could account for its additional dimensions (25mm versus your coin's 20mm).
