Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 06/13/2024 6:03 pm I assume both sides are the same, then? In that case, it's not an ancient coin. It is perhaps a jewellery reproduction. Minerva is a common subject on jewellery medals. 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.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94992 Posts	Posted 06/16/2024 9:03 pm agreed, if it is a 2 headed coin, then it must be a reproduction . Collecting since 1972.

Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 06/17/2024 6:09 pm It absolutely isn't a dime, and it absolutely is one of those "Minerva" medals mentioned above. The new photos confirm this, with the radiating lines out of the portrait. There are no letters. Here are some examples of Minerva medals; the first one has matching radiate lines: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/173...green-enamel https://www.argentum-uk.com/en-de/p...ndant-160222 https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/111...inerva-greek 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.

Sap Moderator Australia 16809 Posts	Posted 06/17/2024 10:57 pm Why would a dime be: - larger than a nickel? (and presumably heavier?) - Have the same portrait on both sides? - Us a portrait not used on any dime, or any other US coin? - Have strange radiating lines out from the portrait? I'm sorry, but if you're seeing such words, it's just your imagination showing you what you want to see. Your photography is excellent enough to clearly demonstrate that they're not really there. It 100% guaranteed isn't an American coin, and it isn't a coin from anywhere else either. It's a jewellery medal that someone has removed from it's piece of jewellery, and then rubbed in gravel for some reason. We've told you what it is. You don't have to accept this truth, but your disbelief in the truth will not change it. 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
