[QUOTE="hamman88, post: 26605760, member: 7950"]Hello again after 15 years. I have this strange SBA in my collection. Annoyingly, I can't even remember how it got there, I bought some lots of coins about 5 years ago and I think it might have shown up in there. It appears to be a close copy of a SBA, but the art is just slightly different. It is medal turn instead of coin turn. There is no "one dollar" on the reverse. It is clad, which I find odd if it was just a simple copy. Weight is a little heavy at 8.67 grams. I just can't wrap my head around why someone would create this, it is very well done. Someone spent a lot of money to make this. It seems so ridiculous to make this I have to entertain the possibility that this could be a pattern, of which I can find no record of. But even so, it should still have "one dollar" on it. Thoughts? Possible arcade token? Sorry for the slightly blurry photos.[ATTACH=full]1695878[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1695879[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
