It is electrically conductive, not that that helps much. Thank you so much! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by aeriuthefhg45 12/30/2019 8:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

RogerRamjet Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 12/31/2019 01:44 am I agree that it looks a lot like an early 1900s Tibetan coin. However, there's no way it could be real because it appears to have been produced with a 3D printer. Using computer graphics terminology, the curves on the surfaces display the stair-step characteristic of non-antialiased raster images. At first, I thought it was an artifact produced by your camera but, when I looked closer, I saw that the woodgrain in the background shows no such effect. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff

I think it's a focus issue Could you take closer photos, with the first rotated 90 degrees to the right, but if it is real it should weigh 18.5 grams.
