It's neat how, with the background in the photo being that color, one has the optical illusion of that being a "cutout" coin, with the darker...
It's safe to assume that we've got an 1873-1916 silver German 1-mark piece, at least, so that mystery is solved.
Yes, I imagine the movement of the metal could account for the slight discrepancy in the diameter. Both the Type 1 and Type 2 Marks had reeded...
I notice that Numista lists the thickness for the (1873-1887) Type 1 at 1.4 mm and the (1891-1916) Type 2 at 1.44 mm, so if you had some really...

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Not hugely valuable, of course, but a neat find.
Neat.
I agree that it should probably stay in that holder. It does risk losing a point in grade and dropping down to a BN designation if resubmitted....

Forget about Ladymarcovan- that last picture made ME melt! I'm more of a cat person than a dog person, but I like the doggies, too.
Showed her. She made some kind of squawking sound and clapped her hands like an excited toddler. :p You see, Ladymarcovan and Victoria have been...
It did look like a loom to me when I was scratching my head and image searching. I believe the keywords "weaving token" or "Conder weaving token"...
Separate names with a comma.
