I know this seems pale in comparison to all the great finds being posted today, but I thought it would be interesting to hear some replies as to how this memorial got to its present condition. Firstly it weighs 3 grams but is larger than a quarter. On the back it had another memorial embossed into it diagonally and reversed text. On the face you can clearly see edge serrations and trees from the back of a Rosie, plus it says one dime and United States of America backwards. At first I thought it was squashed by a train, but as a child I don't recall mine turning out so round and legible...any ideas?? One or two word answers gladly accepted!
