I purchased this item from a pawn shop about 5-6 years ago. The owner of the shop told me he thought it was solid silver. The story goes that it was found under and old church that was torn down many years ago. I can't substantiate any of this but I thought maybe someone has seen something like it before.
Here's some info on it:
Weight... 330.78 grams.
Diameter... 2.25 inches
Thickness... 0.5 inch
It looks like it may have been melted down silver that was poured in a drum bung hole to me. It has what looks like threads on its side. The interesting note is 3 crosses stamped in the top. Could this be something of historic value?
I don't know the metal content for sure but I'm certain that maybe since I have the weight and the size I could calculate what a silver round this size should weigh. Anyone seen anything like this before? Any tips would be appreciated.
