<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 127706, member: 112"]At 33 mm it's about the same size as a double eagle which weighs 33gm. But at 7mm thick this thing is 3 times as thick as a double eagle but yet only weighs 18 gm more than a double eagle. So if it is gold, it's not very pure gold or it would be much heavier. I suspect it is brass. About the only way to know for sure would be to do a specific gravity test - without risking damage to the item.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for what it is - I have no idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
