MsPangga New Member Canada 1 Posts	Posted 09/14/2010 11:19 pm Yeah. I'm having trouble identifying this coin. (yeah its the same coin; doesn't look like it is since one side is a different colour, but yeah it is) A person I knew found it while digging in the ground. He thinks it's made in gold but I'm not sure. It could be a fake since it doesn't have any recognizable symbols in it, only the animals, but again, I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! (I'm going nuts trying to identify it ) Report this Post to the Staff

Keep digging, leprechauns bury treasure in pots. Sorry, couldn't help it, the post was just begging for the reply. As for the item, ?

Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 09/15/2010 07:57 am I'm not exactly sure what it is, but it's not a coin, and it's not made of gold - gold doesn't corrode like that. I suspect it's a brass card-game counter or something like that. 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

Gold, even if left in the ground for 10,000 years would be as nice and shiny as the day it went subterranean. That is a brass token of some sort. Report this Post to the Staff
