Title: Hammered Copper Garbled Mess
Post by: mrbigb625 on August 26, 2017, 08:25:15 am
Hello,
I have been trying to figure this one out and am not sure what direction to go in.
All I see is a garbled mess. It is Copper, 24.7mm maximum diameter, and 6.6 grams
If anyone can give me a clue as to what I'm looking at
I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you
