Found in a dealer's "junk" silver bin today. Diminutive at just 11.1 mm in diameter, and with an actual silver weight of only a fiftieth of an ounce, I couldn't see the point of this cute little thing potentially having a future of being smelted, despite the apparent test cut it suffered at some point along the way.

My example came from a dealer's junk box lots of years ago.
Can't remember what I paid for it.

A nice little 'rescue'.
