I picked up this token and strongly suspect it's a modern replica. But, I can't figure out what it's a replica *of*. About 17mm in diameter....
$425 asking price, huh? I didn't see any that have actually sold to compare against.
I think production cost has been above 7 cents apiece for a while & the OP is talking about intrinsic costs. What would be the alternative for a...
I like a hint of rainbow more than blast white. But, rainbow colors are often just a short-term stage of chemical reaction. They can soon turn to...
