rynegold Valued Member United States 249 Posts	Posted 11/13/2021 11:25 am I'm sending in several things to PCGS but I need an idea of value on a few of them. Here's a flickr album w/pics. The strangest one is the folded over/nugget shaped ones: https://www.flickr.com/photos/19089...17942797331/ Anyone know what these are called/referred to? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 11/13/2021 2:42 pm The rectangular pieces are Japanese. They may or may not be worth slabbing. The ones that look like pickles are "tiger tongues" from SE Asia. Both tiger tongues and sycee are being faked. If these were mine, I'd run the group photo past Joe Lang (joe @ stevealbum.com).
