Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 06/08/2022 1:15 pm Hello, I bought a bag of "junk foreign" today at a shop. The bag contained about 15 actual junk foreign coins; four pre-64 Roosevelt dimes, two pre-64 quarters, a french 50 centime from 1914, and a 1937 10 pfenning; I paid €22 figuring the silver covered the cost. So, I was very surprised to see this coin amongst the others... Can someone help? I think it is one of these two, but the reverse does not align correctly. The weight is 14.57 Any help would be appreciated! https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces123479.html https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces61713.html Report this Post to the Staff

Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 06/08/2022 1:36 pm @john - hello ... the two photos are the coin's obverse and flipped 180 degree - isn't the shield/crest facing the wrong direction? ie Right to Left vs. Top to bottom? Report this Post to the Staff
JohnConduitt Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 725 Posts	Posted 06/08/2022 4:33 pm I don't know this type but it seems odd for a hammered coin to be anything but 'variable alignment'. Report this Post to the Staff
Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 06/08/2022 4:43 pm @john, do you see what I am saying though? the reserve is not up/down, but left/right. Report this Post to the Staff
Roma2021 Pillar of the Community Italy 1130 Posts	Posted 06/08/2022 4:44 pm I know it's hammered and there's room for error, but no examples I have seen online so far show the orientation so 'off'. Report this Post to the Staff
