Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4515449, member: 105098"]Ok I snapped a couple pics on the way out the door, and now that I'm at work with PLENTY of time to kill... LOL Here is front and back in all it's glory. If I had to guess, I'd say it's pewter, it's not heavy like it would be if it were lead. Maybe "die cast metal" and a conglomeration of junk metal? LOL White metal? maybe it was brass plated at some point, but maybe not. Everything I see on Ebay is some form of brass type thing.[ATTACH=full]1118836[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1118837[/ATTACH] Now as you can see, mine has authentic wear, the hole is stretched from hanging around someones neck for 221 years, (Maybe it was Yoda as a teen!) Yes sir, this does not look at all like those fancy ones with sharp rims on Ebay for $2-$12 dollars, this might even be the pattern piece that those were made from! George Washington might have even worn it while he was president! Check it out, you see that there, that original mint luster right there. Shoot I bet you ain't seen nothing like that since, hell, back in the day, right up there with genuine naugahyde. Yes sir, she's a beaut! She doesn't feel like coin metal, no sir,  it feels like a well worn down jacket zipper pull tab where it's lost it's paint. On a serious note. I do however wish I knew who made them and when they were made and how many different compositions there are.[/QUOTE]
