Spence Moderator United States 34441 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 9:24 pm I see remnants of dried glue on the rev. I wonder if this was originally attached to a first communion card or similar.

Dearborn Moderator United States 98107 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 9:24 pm a counterstrike cent. It looks like it was glued to something (judging by the gunk on the reverse.) Collecting since 1972.
