for some reason that coin reminds me of when I lived in a house that had a catch basin behind the place. It had to be cleaned out once a year. Things came out that looked like that coin.

Damn, that coin looks almost exactly like this one I posted a while back:

Counterfeit Double Eagle - Some Interesting Images

My initial post in that thread:

I thought this was interesting so I wanted to post it. Another eBay seller called me up this morning asking about high relief double eagles. He said he had a consignor who sent one to them and wanted some information about it and to sell it. I asked the seller to describe the coin and any defining characteristics. I then had him check the edge of the coin for a seam that ran around the entire coin. Not many people know what I am talking about when I tell them to look at the edge and describe if it has a small line running all the way around the coin. Sure enough, the coin had a seam running all the way around the edge which guarantees it being a counterfeit. The coin was also not "high relief". Well, I had him send me some images and he did a wonderful job of scanning the entire edge of the coin by rolling it on his scanner. I thought I would share these images of the coin done by him for reference on what to look for with regards to "the seam around the edge of the coin". Looking at both the obverse and reverse images, one can easily see the corrosion and the strange looking design details which also indicate the coin is counterfeit. However, asking someone to look for any strange design differences, especially if they aren't sure of what they are looking at, would get you nowhere in determining a coin's authenticity.

Looks like one of those chocolate candies.
