It was the turkey/pigeon/dove or whatever it is on the coin that threw me. And I suspect you may be correct about the "mystery coin" - my own view is that it is a token but let's see if anyone else has ever run into one in their numismatic travels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
