<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 364348, member: 13650"]I was just trying to compare some of the details with the example they show in the book.

The example shown in the book of this type has hardly anything for nubs coming off the sides at the base while your friend's coin has rather long ones. That's the first red flag. But I'd probably still send it in. It says there's two varieties and I've only got one picture example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
