A very similar coin is on vcoins identified as:

oh man, that's pretty.

 

That is a real beauty and a coin any one of us would love to have in our collection.

 

Thank you for the info . Where would I find a value for it & what grade do you feel it is ?

 

Bedford ... that's a beautiful coin!! (very nice)

Ummm, but I'm always curious how one comes across such a beautiful coin without knowing what it is, or what it is worth?

 

Although yours is in better condition, take a look at this link: http://www.vcoins.com/en/Search.asp...ype=0&searchMaxRecords=100&SearchOnSale=False

Well , I bought a large collection of coins today. 99% were U.S. but there was a coffee can of mixed face value modern foreign change & other common foreign low value coins & some tokens. This coin along with some buttons ,keys, 3 paper clips & a tooth were mixed in as well.

It looks like I may owe the past owner a few more dollars .

 

You guys were pretty quick to call this coin real. Can you explain to me what screams "real" or are you just familiar with the particular piece?

 

You're very, very clever ...

=> yup, I never make a move without clearing everything with Batman!!!
