Not a coin related but I like the design and the relief so much I had to bid for another one (now I have 2 of them).

Is that gold? Is it a depiction of a specific city? Nice looking... Cheers, RickO

@ricko I believed listed as bronze when I bought it. How I wish it to be gold at almost 7oz in weight. Looks like birds eye view depiction of NYC high rise building (only building I recognized is the Chrysler building and maybe one of the twin tower next to it). It was also listed as made in 1972. Thanks.

@Knell....Thanks for the response.. it is beautiful... will look for one... at 7 oz. it would be very expensive if gold... but sure looks nice... Cheers, RickO

I've seen that in @illini420's case before. They're nice. And on a side note, I haven't seen that last name in print since I read Steven King's "The Shawshank Reception." Andy Dufresne played by Tim Robbins in the movie..

Just measured it at 80.81mm and 14.95mm at highest point of a relief in thickness. They have 2 at eBay now, one at being 150.00 BIN and $350 BIN/OBO. Correction, it was 1979 NOT 1972. Somehow eBay_noblespirit seller had 4 or 5 of them listed and sold between $110-$130 in a 2-3 week period and lots of bidders/interest.

Who's fault is that?
