It was from coin collection from my ex wife's grandparents collection. I don't have any history on it. Thank you. Edited by Scubarat1918 02/19/2023 12:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Back then, a wide variety of historic coins and tokens were sold at tourist spots. A jeweler or coin dealer with an XRF analyzer gun can provide exacting info on a coin's metal content. Check the rim to see if there's any lettering. One of the makers of a great many replica pieces often stamped the word BECKER on the edge. If that word appears, the maker was Peter Rosa .of NY City Report this Post to the Staff

TimNH Valued Member United States 416 Posts	Posted 02/20/2023 6:42 pm The giveaway to me (besides the cast look) is the centering and roundness. Try to find any real example as perfect in either regard, let alone both. Report this Post to the Staff
