nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 10/30/2020 4:53 pm If you can imagine a way to modify a coin to look like that, that's probably what happened. This coin might have been hammered to increase its diameter, such as to make it into a bus or train token that was slighly larger than a nickel. Report this Post to the Staff

ChelleTank New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 10/30/2020 11:26 pm Thanks peeps.. I'm learning. It confused me being the same size basically but the weight was down. Michelle Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/31/2020 04:26 am The weight being reduced is because of the metal being filed/scrapped off. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
