Hello all,
Over the years I had the good fortune to work in a gold and silver exchange as the in house jeweler. We got to "treasure hunt" every day when folks would bring in their "stuff" to sell, from inheriting an uncles box of things to estate liquidations. The owners of the store were only interested in gold & silver jewelry and coins, (obviously), and I was able to buy odd items and non gold or silver coins & tokens. This one was in a cigar box of trinkets I bought; I suspected what it was so I had it authenticated with NGC. True treasures can be found above ground too!
