Hey All,
I normally wouldnt post something like this, When I found it, I figured it was some old slug or metal punch out. The only weird thing is, it was in a road tearout that was about 100 years old.
I think the newest coin I dug out of he road was a 1914 wheat, the rest were IH's and barbers. So it makes me think what ever it is , has to be fairly old.
Anyway, I found this yesterday, and started to clean it last night, after noticing there was no real detail I didnt think much.
but then something caught my eye from a distance. I could see a very faint "XV" on one part of it.
the picture is crap, I can see it clear as day when its in my hand, but couldnt get that sweet spot pic of what Im talking about.
I dont know what its made on, I do know its NOT Lead, silver, Brass/Copper, or Iron...its not magnectic, and seems to be a little heavier then I would expect.
Its just Barely under the size of a Quarter.
Like I said, i figured it was junk and it could be...But I know the XV are definitely on there, When i look up close with a jewelers loop, it has that same "V" style that the V-Nickle has.
Anyway...dont beat me up too bad...lol
The Other side, i didnt really see any detail on it...But I also provided a far away pic that shows it how i saw it when it "Caught my Eye"
thanks!
