Found something strange in dime box

[Rustystcloud]

Picked up a random box of dimes at a near by bank. This was in a MWR. Anyone know what it is?

yes replica coin --from a holy land tour -- modern copy of a old coin from the middle east == look for a casting line on the rim area -- true one wear poured as hot metal and struck with a hammer thus no "casting line .

Wow, that was fast.....Yup. Nice casting line. Thanks, this is why this site is awesome.

I've found one of those as well. I have it in my junk-and-foreign jar somewhere.

Wow -- I found one of those a few months ago and was wondering what the heck it was. Thanks for the info. Any value at all?

interesting! a replica for sure, probably not worth a dime, but a neat find nonetheless!
