<p>[QUOTE="huffy2, post: 867365, member: 24813"]Hi,I know nothing about coins except what I've found on the internet,I picked this coin up through the classifieds as a neat old coin thinking it is a replica because of the big ugly lump on it.It's thinner on one side than the other,it is the right size and weight for the real ones(39 MM by 19.75 grams) so I thought I better ask you guys if it's worth getting checked out,the pictures of the cast coins I can find have the line down the center of the rim and they look cast,this one(pictures are horrible sorry)has no line in the rim and is quite smooth on the face,it doesn't have lots of little holes(which I guess are cast bubbles),maybe 4-5.It is very black also,the state names are about half readable and the ones that are have qiute crisp letters.</p><p> </p><p>I know these pictures are poor but I figured you guys can tell me if it's worth sending in or should I throw it in a drawer and forget about it,please advise,thanks,Greg.</p><p> </p><p>I also pushed with my fingernail real hard on the lump and it is solid and I tried to pick it off with my fingernail too and it's on there good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I know these pictures are poor but I figured you guys can tell me if it's worth sending in or should I throw it in a drawer and forget about it,please advise,thanks,Greg. I also pushed with my fingernail real hard on the lump and it is solid and I tried to pick it off with my fingernail too and it's on there good.[/QUOTE]
