See Swingingmydfx's post here at link below! Then read info below link. I see you live in Tennessee. Was this coin found in this area of Tennessee with Akin Miller's name on it?!?! It says son of Akin Miller was born in 1856, therefore, Akin would have been around early 1800s to lose the coin you found with her name scratched on it!!!!!

W.V. Miller. manager of Buckley & Barton's extensive store at Gatesville, was born in Maury county, Tennessee, in 1856, a son of A.C. and Minerva (Akin) Miller, natives also of Tennessee. The paternal grandfather, Vincent Miller, was born in North Carolina, was a farmer by occupation, and became an early pioneer of Maury county, where he subsequently died. The maternal grandfather, William Akin, was a pioneer of the same county in Tennessee and was a farmer by occupation. The father of our subject served in the Confederate army, under Forrest, during the entire struggle. He moved to Obion county, West Tennessee, where he still resides.
