This is a tough one old 1800 coin ID help what is it

[imafishingnutt]

I found this old 1800 coin
its kinda heavy like lead but harder could be silver.
i can clearly see the bottom part says 1800 in bold numbers the top may have 6 to eight letters
(i can make out the 2nd and 3rd letter if it is 6 letters) the two letters i see are RD thier may be a O befor them
the other side of the coin is too worn for any detail.
its a tiny bit bigger than a quarter.
Note the RD are togather i thought maby it said Jordan but i cant tell

Can you make the picture more close up or post a higher definition image so we can expand it? Not much to see on the present pix as the image is just too small for my old eyes.

Thanks Imafishingnutt

hmmm... no idea.

Looks more "token" ish... I think.

Looks like a coin or bullion weight to me

im not aware of any US coins that resemble that. im gonna have to say token.

It could be a Kreuzer of Germany or Austria--they had really plain reverses. If the coin is the same on both sides as your photos indicate above, then perhaps that is ruled out and I would go with token in that case. The one below is from Bavaria...I have seen pieces that were 1 Kreutzer or more made of copper--especially the Austrian coins. It could be a provincial coin, so there's my guess. If you start looking up Austro-Germanic or Austro-Hungarian coinage, you'll perhaps find your answer there. Here's the coin in question. The reverse is plain except for the denomination and date:

Here's a link where I ID'ed a coin that has a similar placement of the letter "R" and a plain reverse with the date below. It is also a provincial coin:

buckleboy is the closest so far but i think we are still off.
this coin is like a light weight metal but looks like lead and is kinda soft.
i have hundreds of world coins and have never seen one like this one or the metal type.
HMMMMMMM
