Small Silver Coin

[Fentonian]

Went out and did some scouting along an old creek looking for early pioneer cabins, found this random silver coin in the general vicinity that I keep picking up native artifacts. Hoping someone may have an idea on what it may of been. Smaller than a trime and thinner. Thanks for any information!

Nice Trime!! as for the worn silver maybe a very old British silver penny?

Very nice finds fentonian! The native pieces are quite nice. For your little silver coin... I'm feeling stumped... At first I was thinking a very worn half reale. But the diameter of your piece seems too small.... Hopefully someone else will have some ideas.

Looks like it might be a 3 cent Silver USA to me.

Very Cool!!! Congrats!!! Could the Silver be a wiped Half Dime?

Half dimes are bigger in diameter then trimes. He has a trime in his pic for comparison.

I have often wondered about things like this. Lets say when that coin was original what did it weigh compared to now ? When a coin is worn like the first one pictured How much weight would it lose because of wear ?

Thanks! Now only if I could narrow down what it could be, early English silver penny is as close to size and weight as I can find…
