pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 09/03/2010 10:52 pm Size would be helpful, but it looks like a commemorative token - a bit crude, at that. It it were a coin, it would have a denomination. Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 09/04/2010 02:02 am It's a fantasy piece. No such coin exists from a normal mint. It's an overseas copy more then likely meant to pass as silver or gold to be sold to tourists. Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 09/04/2010 05:14 am Sorry Go but why do you assume it's a foreign (non-US) piece and meant to dupe tourists? I'm sure there are a few unscrupulous people in the US capable of producing such low quality trash. Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 09/04/2010 9:46 pm Yes, this is a contrived fantasy item that doubles as a commemorative memento. It was likely intended for tourists as GO said; and, probably sold at historical sites. It could have been made stateside or abroad where production costs are lower. Although worth next to nothing, such items can truly impress uninformed folks if the owner can concoct a yarn to spin when showing it! Report this Post to the Staff
