Hi there :)
hoping someone here can help me determine what this gold and black pin
is???

I found it in Tokyo, Japan in the trash, believe it or not :)
with some old coins from a variety of Asian countries...

It resembles the style of pins that would be attached
to a military hat or uniform...
it has a screw type back.

There's a lotus flower design I think at the base of the design,
with the kanji characters for the number one.
It has gold trim on the obverse and reverse with an inlaid black matte
background.
It is a perfect circle and is a bit smaller than an American or
Canadian one cent.

It may be Chinese or Japanese, not sure.

Hoping someone here with more expertise can help out... :)

here's a link to a detailed close-up picture I took of it...

Hello,
I saw a web site that offer free credit to send sms worldwide when you
register. Take a look on http://www.alertforphone.com
it looks the free credit is renewed every week but I'm not sure 100%%

The Holy Shroud in Turin is and remains a riddle, as honestly
recognised by the manager of the most important of the three
laboratories which analysed the cloth by using the carbon 14. This
manager acknowledged a serious mistake in the dating.
The only means we have at disposal to solve the riddle is that of
recognizing that, without any doubt, in such Holy Linen happened
something that we cannot and never we’ll be capable to explain : the
Resurrection of Christ.
