googoo Valued Member United States 466 Posts	Posted 09/19/2011 12:30 pm In my opinion it looks much like this coin mentioned here on the forum maybe a week ago https://goccf.com/t/98030 cleaned and then resurfaced is my guess. Worthless to me I mean I would take it if I found it, or if someone gave it to me. But not to buy it. Edited by googoo 09/19/2011 12:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
