Can you see WRL stamped on it anywhere ? if you can it's a modern copy.
It looks good though, not like the copies I've got. Have you done a silver test ? Val Title: Re: Help identify a coin thing pls Post by: wondering on July 27, 2014, 04:15:36 PM No WRL stamp on it and I haven't silver tested it yet will do when I get kit

Put coin in foil spit on it wrap it up and leave for a few minuets. If it stinks when you open it up you know you've got silver. Looking good, fingers crossed. Val |
