Rosevelt Half Dime

[ZumbroKid]

It appears I lucked out and recovered one of the rare Rosevelt Half dimes. It is next to a 46 Rossie for comparison. Any idea on the grade and value of this small coin? Thanks in advance.

I'll try to post a better photo later. I'm doing some checking on my own too. So far no luck.

Maybe you should direct your search in the Token area. It defiantly is not a ?coin? in the sense of being currency.

Good luck, Jim

your wrong on this one jim,

I am new to MDing, but I have been collecting coins for years. This is not United States Currency. There is no such thing as a Roosevelt Half Dime. Just doesn't exist. Granted, I have no idea what this "coin" is. But I am swaying toward the token theory.

Could it be some excellent play money? ?I have found a few coins that look like the real deal here in Germany but they are play money and half the size of the actual coin. ?Very interesting find, please post the ID if you figure it out! ?HH, Mike

currency is anything used in exchange for goods or services correct?

Could be a forgien coin with Rosevelt on it. This is a real coin folks. You can hold this in your hand, is not photo work shop art either. Coin is actual size and by the composition ( discoloration) my guess it is made of the same materials as our modern clad coinage. But it dates from the silver coin era. This might be what is tripping people up. I'm sure once you know what it is you will remember you once had these yourselves. One time this common item.

The ?Lucky Play Money? series, including your Franklin D. Roosevelt token is listed in the token reference book "Tokens and Medals - A guide to the identification and values of United States Exonumia"
