Yep. It's a 1924. Desirability is diminished somewhat by the environmental damage (discoloration), so worth less than a buck as-is. Still, it...
Barbarous imitation, maybe?

For your non-numismatic enjoyment. That's a real piece of Americana right there.
You remind me that I presently have no Seated Liberty coins in my Eclectic Box... nor even a quarter of any type. I shall have to remedy both...
Thanks. I don't think this one will happen. Turns out there's another 17th century medal I have my eye on, though... ;) [ATTACH] Of course my...
