is there ANYTHING on the other coin that you can make out?

 

[Deepdiger60]

is there ANYTHING on the other coin that you can make out?

That second coin is in pretty bad shape all i can see is a small 5 and right in the middle a large 6 inside a circle with what looks like rays around the circle thats about it the other side in smooth .

any chance that 6 could be a 5?

 

[jdsarasin8194]

or a cap?

or a cap?

I turned the coin 180 degrees it is a 5 in the middle with a crown above it , there isn't much to go by

 

[jdsarasin8194]

found where?

 

[Deepdiger60]

found where?

Where the 5 is ? or where the copper was found ,the 5 looks to be dead center on the copper and the crown is just above it out side the circle also there are a few letters hard to make out and a very small 5 on the bottom
