any ideas on the coin yet??..gregg

The non-US coin is from Tibet.

It's a 3 Srang, the near-equivalent of a British India Rupee, made 1935-1938.

Here's what one looks like:

I bought this one in Kathmandu Nepal in 1984

Nice Find Ron.

The 3 Srang was also minted in 1946. That date is the rarest of the series. It should weight 11.30g

Do you know what the silver composition is? thx for the info HH

The srang first appeared as a silver coin in 1909 when Tibet began issuing a variety of denominations rather than only issuing the tangka. These silver coins of 18.5 g were minted at Dode. The srang were struck till 1919. Silver 1½ srang coins of 5 g were struck in Tapchi mint between 1936 and 1938 and again in 1946. Silver 3 srang coins of 11.3 g were struck in Tapchi mint between 1933 and 1938 and again in 1946.

I can't tell what year yours is, but if you do, it may help determine if it is silver or not.
