<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1934399, member: 19463&quot;]This is a very difficult question.&nbsp; To post correctly, you need to know something about the coin but I certainly don&#039;t.&nbsp; I started ignoring the thread jello suggested some time ago because I know so little about the modern coins it attracts.&nbsp; I suspect many modern collectors will see this item and assume that it is an ancient coin (which it is not, IMHO) so posting it as a stand alone but not flagging the post to tell what it is in general (coin, token, world, ancient?) will also cut down on the target audience (as I suspect from the first reply).&nbsp;&nbsp; I have no knowledge of the correct category here so I assume it is a token of medieval or modern manufacture but that is just based on my not recalling seeing it before.&nbsp;&nbsp; If I were going to research it, I might want to rule out Pilgrims&#039; Tokens but I certainly have no experience with them and could be of no help separating a real medieval item from a tourist piece from the last century. </p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=pilgrims+tokens&amp;espv=2&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=ZLeUU8r4Dsal8gG144HIDQ&amp;ved=0CC0QsAQ&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=685" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?q=pilgrims+tokens&amp;espv=2&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=ZLeUU8r4Dsal8gG144HIDQ&amp;ved=0CC0QsAQ&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=685" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=pilgrims+tokens&amp;espv=2&amp;tbm=isch&amp;tbo=u&amp;source=univ&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=ZLeUU8r4Dsal8gG144HIDQ&amp;ved=0CC0QsAQ&amp;biw=1280&amp;bih=685</a></p><p><br /></p><p>While management has repeatedly upheld their decision not to add specialty sections like &#039;ID Help Requested&#039; (a decision with which I agree), this item is exactly what will fall between the cracks of the readers here.&nbsp; Few of us read every post and a post entitled &#039;very rare coin&#039; that starts off with arguments is not very likely to attract serious attention. </p><p><br /></p><p>I assume this was intended at a slam at someone but I&#039;m not sure who.&nbsp; If the intent is to help the OP, I would suggest the mods delete this entire mess and repost it where they believe it belongs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
