looks excatly like it was spooned. Tried to make it into the ring.

 

The pirate probably left the coin in his pirate pants when he washed them and the coin got stuck in a fin inside his clothes dryer.

 

Maybe someone have desired to make a button?:smile

 

Pirate coin????

 

Yeah, the dude pictured on it has a bandana like a pirate, and is only showing his good eye.

 

here is another

 

Very cool. Haitian right?

 

I saw that but the hook and parrot were missing... This is must be the "dainty pirate" variety...

 

the sound quality is terrible but speaking of "dainty pirates"....

Yes, sir.

 

yes that is the same ..but mine is silver ...do you know why mine has such a thick deep edge?

 

I cant read the writing on it due t the thickness of the edge ....and he looks like a pirate to me .....

and the flags and cannon on the back makes it one of the coolest looking coins i have seen....but why is the edge so deep on mine Ive looked at others and they are normal looking

 

thank you for the photo mine is a 10 cent and it is silver ....or a silver color ...but I dont know why it has such a deep edge...do you ?

thx

 

cman answered your question here in post #2. Someone was trying to make a ring out of it. The wide rim was created during that process. It was just never completed.

 

In other words, the large rim is Post Mint Damage. Someone took it and beat it with a spoon or other object repeatedly to make it into a ring. See the link

thank you I didnt know what spooned meant and i didnt know ring meant one that you wear on your finger

 

Your coin is from silver. I think that someone have spoiled your coin.

 

Siberian Man,
Do you know what the "78" on the coin you posted represents? Just wondering.

 

"An 78"- it means the 78th Year of Haitian Republic.
