    Just bought this in a supermarket parking lot. I know, I know. It weighs 15.72 grams. I think I already see a problem, with the edges... also it's been scratched (in the middle!) to ID the metal. Pretty sure I just funded a drug purchase, but let's hear the verdict from the experts. Consider me brave at this point for even asking. 20241212_172435.jpg 20241212_172834.jpg

    Enlighten us as to what it's supposed to be and why you bought it in a parking lot (craigslist?).

    Not bad for a "parking lot coin" if you ask me, but don't ask. :rolleyes:
    Is that even safe? Yea, why fund someone's drug habit?? o_O

    Not Craigslist, but close. Nextdoor. I live near the ocean; he said his grandmother had found it. Said he needed money for Christmas for his daughter. It's supposed to be an old coin that washed up on the beach. Spanish Cob?

    Such a common theme among scammers. You'll get their 1804 dollar for $100 because they really need the money because [insert sob story]. Tack on something about grandma or grandpa.
