Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 03/31/2019 1:52 pm @LT, yes you can see that after plating, this cent was placed in a bezel. Subsequently, it looks like the loop was broken off.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/01/2019 08:54 am I'm guessing that the measuring item next to the coin is in inches. If so, that coin is way to big to be real Photo shows it to be almost 2 inches in diameter. If that is in inches, then the coin is a token of some kind possibly made for a piece of jewelry like a broach or necklace. Report this Post to the Staff
