    Have you tried a magnet ?
    It looks like a far east mixed up copy.

    It is not magnetic.
    wouldn't that be like turning a dollar into 50 cents?

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    Yes, and with a really sloppy mold, too.

    SO a counterfeit trade coin probably made by china or in middle east sometime between 1866-1930 never intended to be used in the americas

    probably brass?
    thanks for the help
