a rare find ?

Postby andrewjackson » Thu Oct 21, 2010 7:58 pm

8-) . Today I found an interesting coin/token it is zinc and has the words uncirculated denver with a large d in the center, and on the other side it says treasury united states mint, with a scale a masons/carpenters square with 13 stars and a key at the bottom. A really strange find. Does anyone know if this a test coin or what it might be? Also found a 1881 indian head ,and a 1907 indian head full liberty. :D

I think this is a token found in uncirculated mint sets. There are also Philly ones. Nice Find, but don't quit your job because of it!

I actually found a coin like this last week.

The only difference is mine is zinc (you'd think that since the Masons control the US that they would have known to use copper...)
