<p>[QUOTE=&quot;laserhawk64, post: 720588, member: 21222&quot;]Hello all... first time posting, just got a rather odd coin and trying to find out what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>This ...whatever it is... is a very large and heavy coin-like item. Can&#039;t figure out what it&#039;s made of, but my Pitney Bowes postal scale says it&#039;s 2.8oz. That&#039;s probably +/- 0.1oz or so...</p><p><br /></p><p>No year, no denomination on this, not even sure it&#039;s actual coinage. Up until I looked really closely at it, I thought it was terra cotta :mouth: but then I looked at it under a desk lamp, with a magnifying glass, and a certain metallic sheen was noticed. It&#039;s so corroded/rusty/etc. though, that (as said above) I can&#039;t tell what it&#039;s made of without damaging it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it matters, this was in a large collection of my grandfather&#039;s (~39lbs (+/- 2lbs) of coinage, including boxes, according to my bathroom scale). I&#039;m selling it (<u>not here</u>) because I need the money. It&#039;s sad to part with what is essentially my grandfather&#039;s legacy, but I have no other choice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Images are attached.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks (somewhat in advance) for your help, folks!</p><p><a href="http://img25.imageshack.us/i/juancarloscoinreverse.jpg/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img25.imageshack.us/i/juancarloscoinreverse.jpg/" rel="nofollow"></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
