🔎 UNIDENTIFIED What do I have here…?

What is this coin? It was mixed in with a roll of silver dimes. My best guess was something from Mexico as I might see “ IDOS M” at the top of the reverse. But the bust profile sure looks like Honest Abe! I’m stumped after my best 4 minutes of research. Thanks, Timber.

Not sure, but it looks like a bolivar from Venezuela

Agree, but if it's close in diameter to a dime it will be a half-bolivar.

The one bolivar was 23.4mm versus a dime at 17.91mm. The half-bolivar, issued from 1879-1936 was 18mm.

It is dime sized. Thanks Mud Hut and Red-Coat! I would have never found that in a million years. This place rocks.
