[QUOTE="Viper1357, post: 1082331, member: 28810"]Thanks again Mat for the information and reference link. Thanks too for the approximate value, as I'm always interested in knowing, (aren't we all?) but this coin not only had sentimental value, but now that I believe it's the real deal and that old, it's value to me is not measured in $ as many of my other coins/currency would be. I took it out and was surprised at how thin it was, and how much better surviving detail there is. I assume it's sliver, as heard a distinct 'tinggg' when I dropped (about an inch) it lightly on the countertop. The pics below are as good as I can muster from a 12 year old 2.11 mp camera. Need to update that one day. In any case, I'm glad I found this thread and found my old coin. I always thought highly of it, but even more so now. :D After the pics, I gently wiped it down and put it back in the 2x2 cardboard and plastic tomb. I'm grateful to have it from my father-in-law who really enjoyed it before I got it! :thumb:[/QUOTE]
