    I have a coin picture included, that looks as if it was a planchet but it has a 1859 or so image stamped on it on one side, the edge is smooth and it looks as if it has not been stamped on 20181002_021050.jpg 20181002_021021.jpg 20181002_021005.jpg 20181002_020935.jpg 20181002_021050.jpg 20181002_021021.jpg 20181002_021005.jpg 20181002_020935.jpg one side. Anyone have an idea

    It a coin with very heavy wear. It was struck once. Not really worth anything in the condition it is in.. Whatever it is.

    Go to: numista.com

    You can do an advanced search where you put in the year and diameter of the coin. It’s probably safe to put in Cu for the metal. That’ll narrow down things significantly. Let us know what you come up with!

    Lol, I wasn't going to give it away so easily :p
    Edit: the year is most likely 1869

    This type wasn't made in 1869, if you don't zoom in on the pics you can sort of make out the top of a 1.

    Nope, I'm still at 1869... maybe 1859, but in my mind, no way that's a 1 on the end.

    Could certainly be '59. Definitely one of the two. Pareidolia always at play with these things of course :)

    Well friends I appreciate the info, I'm new to this and really thought it was cool to find in pennies, specially if it isnt United states currency, I think I'll find a sleeve to pit it in and add to my collection. Also I think I found my home for all things money talk. I hope to get to know you all
