<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ferreram, post: 1074838, member: 26908&quot;]Earlier today I went on my weekly Flea Market expedition. I came across this coin all by itself in a display case. I asked the vendor to please allow to see it. As soon as I saw it, it became clear to me that I wanted to buy this coin. At first I thought it was silver, but after learning a few things in this forum it knew it was some type of clad or other material. I examined the coin more closely and compared it to what I knew about the U.S. coins(half dollars, dollars). An internal ahh came around and I figured it was a mix of copper and nickle. The biggest challenge that I have is, since I am not a world coin collector I do not know what grade this is. I believe, from comparing my own U.S. collection, that this may well be an Au. As far as what type or # I do not know. I would also enjoy someone to provide a history lesson on this coin. Any enlightenment would greatly help this newbie. Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
