    Cool! I've never seen one of those. It appears to be in the same shape as most of the Straits Settlements copper I come across. How large is it?

    I haven't measured it but it is almost exactly the same size as a British Penny.

    It is nice. I have thought of taking it out of the 2x2 so I could a better look at it. Not sure if that is a good idea or not.

    Go for it, Newbie!! Be bold!! Make that move! Touch the coin. I like doing that too, with worn coins.

    For the same reason, when I buy a new Matchbox car, I like to take it out to play with it. I might buy two or three, so I can play with one and keep the others in "mint" condition.
