    I recently got over 100 mixed coins and processing them one by one..I hope you guys bear with me as I search and learn more each day..Some coins have no details on them that gives me hard time as an inexperienced collector..

    This coin is very interesting..2.93gr 11.4 X 12.4mm and thicker..Any references?

    Thanks

    Sorry, I don't recognize it. Hefty for such a small coin

    Please remember that this is a family oriented forum, so since language is to be like 1950's tv shows, limit visuals to the same era. Yes, the US coins area doesn't like not being able to show their Bordello tokens ( most are fake anyway), but the same rules are there also. Thanks

    When I watch 1950's tv shows I think they were less conservative than now in some areas. Maybe not so much with open promiscuity, but they smoked cigarettes and made comments on subjects such as social class and race that would be considered derogatory today. Also, I have found the subtle references to sex on some of those shows greater than today's tv shows. Perhaps that's because today's shows don't have to mask it though. Regardless your point stands with regards to censoring children.

    The only thing "X rated" I see here is that there is what literally appears to be an X on one side of the coin. So perhaps that was a pun.

    Unfortunately, I have no idea what the coin is. Interesting. Thick n' chunky, eh? Looks like silver in the pix.

    The photo had been removed. No Problem, just that experience indicates that following posts seem to escalate the situation in many cases. I believe the original post was the pun about the "X". Jim

    Remember that you don't know how to hold the coin. It could very well be a character in an unknown script on its side. The thick and square structure points to coinage from India, but I don't recognize it.

    X-terrestrial intimate relations seems to be what I see, the one on the right looks like E.T. and the one on the left some Gorgon princess.
