    My Father had this in a box of assorted coins that we found when we were cleaning up his estate. According to my Uncle these were given out in the late 50's and early 60's by Machine shops to show off there press work. It has the correct weight and looks to have started off its life as an 1878. Just wanted to share and was wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this. And just because I know someone will ask there was a few Frankies, One 21 morgan and a bunch of wheats but no key dates. everything else was common contemperary. sorry about the pics being in bmp form my computer is acting up. I can try to upload the pics later.

    I`ll probably be in the minority here, but I really like that piece.
