Have been trying to identify a coin my son found in Bisbee, AZ (an old copper mining town) while hiking. It is less than an inch in diameter at its widest. Sorry so big...tried to make them smaller with the optimizer. :( * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Genuine coins are made of gold, which this coin clearly is not. In this old thread, you can find identical-looking coins, with the exact same shape and oddities in the design. 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. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
