What could it be (coin?), and how do I find out?
I found this yesterday at a home that dates back into the 1700s. Have pulled items out of there that we believe to be of that era, right on through silver coins of this century.
This thing is rusted over, but I can't get past the thought that there may be some type of coin under there.
Or should i just 'assume' that with the rust there can be no coin( stupid thought?)
How do I safely get through the rust to see what lies beneath?
With the rust the diameter measures 1 1/8" ( 3 cm)
weight is 17.7 grams (.6 oz)
What do I do now?
