jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 03/09/2019 8:41 pm It appears to be a worthless fake. Many of these exist. Probably made from brass. I think many were sold in souvenir shops in the 60s and 70s. Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 03/09/2019 8:58 pm These novelty tokens are often sold in sets. Sadly, many a coin novice has paid $100-$200+ for one token at auction. https://www.etsy.com/listing/173901...AiGsEALw_wcB Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/13/2019 3:25 pm Well you overpaid but it wasn't enough to hurt you seriously. Fairly cheap tuition. Depending on what else was in the lot the tuition could be even less. Edited by Conder101 03/13/2019 3:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
