Title: Hammered copper coin Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on March 08, 2009, 10:10:15 AM Ok I found what i thought was a button, but after checking it. It feels more like a hammered coin. Only thing is it appears to be copper. It has a circular border a few mm's in from the edge of the coin and i can make out the characters R and * (star shape) on the border. There does not seem to be and solder mark on the back. I asked in chatroom last night was there any copper hammered around and someone said there was , and gave me the nameof them.....only thing is I cant remeber what they said ??? ;D. I have not included a pic yet as i dont believe I will pick out the detail with my scanner.

Title: Re: Hammered copper coin Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on March 08, 2009, 10:49:56 PM the back is completely blank as far as i can see, no solder point but dont know , could easily be a button, very very thin though
