    Hi all,
    Flea Market purchase 9-9-2017

    I picked up this Brass looking small bowl shaped item with a coin stuck to the center. I'm not sure if it's attached with glue or another way and I'm thinking of removing the coin.
    It's an Argentina 2 CENTAVOS
    Dated -1891
    It has an inscription on the back that states Hecho En Argentina (Made in Argentina)

    It looks like it is soldered in from the silver line near the edge of the coin. It may be best to leave it in the bowl.

    A lot of times the opposite side is filed down for a better fit, taking it out risks destroying the object only to get a destroyed coin :(
