Hi Crusader,

I didn't know that I could post them here. These are Microsoft Word documents. I thought all I could post was photos on here.
Do you know how I go about posting these documents on here? :help:
some computers you can go to start, all programs, accessories, then to snipping tool. if that doesn't work try right clicking the text, copying, and then paste it on your post

Thanks Traderoftreasures. The word documents also include embedded photos and graphs, but I will try what you said and see if it works. I know there has to be a way.

Crusader....LOL!!! I think it would be hilarious to have this turn into a cult following :laughing7:
I didn't think about it like that before, but it could be fun.

Anyway, I'm just curious as to what it is and are there any more out there like it.
It still has me stummped :icon_scratch:

johnnyi,

How are you so sure? You have not seen the coin except in a picture. I have seen it in person, and I am telling you, there is no glue residue anywhere!
Don't be so quick to judge something you don't know anything about. If you can offer some real information about it, that would be great. Otherwise, keep your insulting comments to yourself! :nono:

Okay vaslik, if it isn't cement residue (I never said "glue") then how about blowing up that part in a scan. 'Patina" does not fill scored lines, and "patina" does not mound up.

By the way, I read your other write up; the one about 'mayube Nazis", "maybe Oak Island", etc. etc., and I enjoyed it very much. It took a great deal of time obviously to produce. Now the amount of energy it would take to blow up the areas I emetnuioned would be miniscule compared to that, and would perhaps even help to identify this curious object (which is neither a coin or a token) Thank you. :D

I do not have a domain SWR. I tried to upload them here, but it tells me there is an error and that I cannot load that type of file.
I will upload them to facebook tomorrow and I'll post the link here then.

Johnnyi,

There is nothing in the score lines. The metallurgy reports have magnified shots. I will try to upload and post the link tomorrow.
Another thing, you can download the photo on your hard drive and blow it up to have a closer look. I just want people to be open minded about this and not jump to conclusions and be presumptuous. We are all curious about this piece. If you think I'm pulling some kind of stunt, then go away and don't bother with this post. >:(
I am here because I am curious. I am not interested in playing games, nor do I have the time in my life for doing such things. As for "my" other posts and descriptions, if you are talking about the website, that is not put up by me, it was put up by the actual owner of the coin.

Sorry SWR, I guess that was a bad choice of words on my part. I do not actually control the content on that website. I do however, control the content of the facebook group "Mystery Coin" so I will post the reports on there. I will also suggest it to the site owner to try and upload the reports to mysterycoin.com

Also, I have suggested to the owner to take a side view of the coin. He said he will try his best and then I can post them here.

By the way, does anyone think that it may be related to the Illuminati? I know that the all-seeing eye was used by them, but it was also used by the Rosicrucians. Confusing.... :dontknow:

SilverSearcher,

Yes, to the best of my knowledge. I have asked the owner if it may perhaps be pewter, and he said no. He said the metallurgist at the University of Toronto told him it was definitely tin. Neither one of us is an expert on metals, so I guess we can only rely on the reports. I do not know how to read the symbols on the reports and so when I post them on Facebook I really hope someone can read them and explain them to the group.
Thank you for your open-minded, educated questions and opinions.

Thank you SS, and everyone else....yes, even Johnnyi skeptic :evil6:...LOL!!!
This is quite the mystery to solve since we have not yet located anything else like it anywhere. Keep looking folks....there is bound to be an answer out there somewhere! The owner is sending out press releases about it this week to some coin-related magazines. A friend of his who is a television news writer thinks the coin/token/medal may have some interesting significance.

Mysteries rock :headbang:

Perhaps that's a good idea SWR. I will suggest it to him. Thanks for coming up with that idea!

Like Mack said, Pewter can be 99% Tin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pewter
It looks machine stamped but I need to see the side view.

Yes, I will try to obtain some side-view photos. I have seen the side of it and it's thin, no inscriptions.
