Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5238 Posts	Posted 10/07/2019 5:04 pm I have this coin for lack of a better word at this time and cannot decipher the symbols. It is plated with brass showing on the rim, it weighs 5.05 grams and the alignment on the obverse and reverse is the same as on say a Canadian coin. Insight needed as to what this might be please.
