basicbob101 Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 05/06/2010 8:39 pm While roll searching a Brinks wrapped roll of JFK halves I immediately spotted a golden coin that was smaller than the halves, thought it was a golden dollar at first till I looked at more than the edge. I have no idea what it is, where it is from, or even if it is a legit coin, looks more like a token of some sort. Would appreciate identification and value. It looks gold but is not heavy enough to be gold. Thanksz, bob [old photobucket links removed] Edited by basicbob101 05/07/2010 11:27 am Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 05/06/2010 10:46 pm You've posted the obverse twice. We've seen "tokens" just like this before, though to be the object more resembles a checkers piece. See this old thread for discussion on a similar item, though those old photobucket pics have now expired. 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
