ironhorse Valued Member Canada 363 Posts	Posted 03/11/2020 11:12 am that one has been a very harsh environment, likely under ground or seawater or both metal detected coins often look like these and are still worth $2 so they're nice to find Report this Post to the Staff
john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 03/11/2020 11:14 am Looks like a wishing well toonie or similar Report this Post to the Staff
Coincanada New Member Canada 27 Posts	Posted 03/11/2020 11:15 am It could be I thought of that. But many of its details are showing through that acid would destroy. I etch mineral and gemstone specimen with Muriatic acid often enough to know how the damage would look. And it just seems wrong. It weighs what a 2009 toonie should. It is unclad on outer ring as well Edited by Coincanada 03/11/2020 11:16 am Report this Post to the Staff
