Anyone come across something like this before or know was could have caused it? The markings are raised. Edited by poster123 10/23/2023 07:26 am Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 10/23/2023 08:48 am I'd reckon it's a removed mount mark. Someone turned it onto a brooch by soldering on a pin, then someone else snapped off the brooch pin to try to turn it back into a coin. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
