Hi all;
I see the holiday treated everyone well, i wonder if anyone can identify this coin. It is slightly larger than a silver dollar, and from what i can tell the top of his head is aprox. 11:00 in this pik. and his nose is at aprox. 2:00 part of his nose is broken off his eye (of course) is just behind his nose, the dark spot in the center of the coin is either his ear or a lock of his hair. It appears he is waring a laurel wreath, the edge of the coin is finished but verry hard to see a pattern. I tested it for silver and it tested positive. The reverse seems to have three monogramed initials one being the letter "D" or something that looks like a letter "D" Any help would help and be greatly appreciated. I have asked lots of people but none seem to know what it is. Perhaps The university of Pittsburgh....
I also found on this site a 1865 2cent, a saint Elisabeth Seton relic intact and a 5cent token from the Columbia machine co. I call them my 3 firsts... the first coin to say "In god we trust" The first American saint and the first slot machine with interchangeable (denomination) coin boxes.
My oldest daughter found this at a local insane asylum.
