[QUOTE="luke420, post: 1215108, member: 28572"]I will tell you what I know about this coin and would like your thoughts as well. Being from Southeast Louisiana (20 miles West of New Orleans)we celebrate Mardri Gras every year. I received this coin from a coworker who's son loves to collect coins.I helped his son with his collection and in return I was given this coin. The story my coworker told me was his Dad owned a Machine Shop in the 70's & 80's. He told me they made the dies and stamped these coins out in their shop. He told me they made these coins for a Mardi Gras crew. I believe it's made of silver and he told me it was made from silver from the sound it makes when I drop it on the counter. This coin weights 30.2 grams and measures 1.550 in diameter,It also has the number 132 stamped on the edge. I think it's a very cool coin and I love it. Anyone else have any home made coins in their collection that they would like to share?[ATTACH]128798.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]128799.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
