dafney e New Member United Kingdom 24 Posts	Posted 07/28/2010 8:06 pm I have found a new golden coated coin the seems to be a silver/grey colour where it has been chipped, I have no idea what it is at all. Hopefully some of you might know and could tell me as much as you can, sorry about the picture. Dafydd Report this Post to the Staff

afclassic87 Pillar of the Community United States 564 Posts	Posted 07/28/2010 11:57 pm I don't know what type of coin it is but it looks like a cast. I think that because it's lacking detail and the coins field is not flat. With a struck coin I would expect the field to be smoth/flat and the detail would be much stronger. I could be wrong since I don't know the coin. That's my 2 cents. Report this Post to the Staff

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

dafney e New Member United Kingdom 24 Posts	Posted 08/05/2010 08:25 am Yea, I think I had around 100/130 coins all dating from 1800 to 1940's so it was a good find. Many of them very poor condition but the others wasn't that bad Report this Post to the Staff
