Hello All my friends.
Please note, I did not find this coin with my machine, however I am stumped about what it is and thus have come here to ask you for your help.
I find it very difficult to take pic's of coins, but will in the meantime try and discribe this coin to you.
On the one side it has a head facing to the left.
The coin OD is about 16mm.
It looks like brass but might be gold. (How would I tell if it is?)
On the same side as the head it says UNITED STATES.
It also has these little stars 7 at the top and 6 at the bottom.
There is this sort of reed that goes around the coin but slightly inside from the edge, like little dots.
On the other side it says in the middle JULY and then there is a date below also in the middle I think it says 1838 the third number is difficult to see, could even be 1828 tomorrow I want to loan my friends special magnifying glass to try and determine what it is., from the bottom on this side there seems to be some sort of leaves or such.
I have been concentrating on my coin collection the last few months, still trying to give my back operation time to heal, but as soon as summer sets in, I surely will be out again.
Thankyou to everybody in advance and also to my friend here who kindly sent me some coins.
