Hi folks.... My father had a very large coin collection when he passed in 2010. My buddy Frank (Huntsman53) came over from East TN. and we were looking at some of the coins. In this one bag were coins from around the world, tokens and some various old coins from the U.S. Frank had some books to look at but we couldn't find anything that matched the remaining busts on either side of this coin.
The coin weighs 172 grams or 0.60 oz. At least I think I had the scale set right if this helps. I'm not sure at all but I think it might be copper. But it could be tarnished silver also... I just don't know. The outside edge has vertical lines/marks around it with coin lying flat. And maybe (just maybe) it isn't that old but something happened to this more "modern" coin to deface it into this shape...? Maybe I could soak it in something for a awhile and this might help....
? So if anybody has an idea PLEASE let me know. Thanks... Brad
