I posted this over the weekend on “Todays Finds”... I apologized for the double posts but I am hoping it gets more attention on this forum. I am always amazed at what some TNet-ers are able to spot on an otherwise unidentifiable coin and I feel like there is enough left on this one that someone might help me get it sorted out.
it came off a colonial site where i have found a William III, several KGIIs, and some other early relics. It is clearly a coin/token, but it may very well have been altered as it is not perfectly round and one side had a pronounced off-center strike, that looks like it was hammered to my eye. It is US half penny size... 22.27mm and 4.3g... but i have not found a single item from the 1800s on the site as of yet. I have highlighted the obvious features, the larger straight line is recent damage.
Thanks for looking, HD
