<p>[QUOTE="torontokuba, post: 2136955, member: 56793"]Normally, for me, the name of the game is " Stay away from problem coins!", but, sometimes you just have to rescue a coin from its environment. This one came from a box of pins and buttons at a Militaria show a few years ago. The guy wanted $10. I told him no, due to the overall condition and two holes on the coin edge. I also said that he could keep the chain. He settled for an overpriced cup of coffee, delivered to his table from within the venue, and I got the whole thing in return. Nice guy!</p><p><br /></p><p>Don't want to call it trench art, but, considering the event had a military theme, it might be a soldier made or modified trinket.
