No sir. You found a silver coin. Nickel was needed for the war effort in 1943. So nickels were minted in silver. Identifiable by the large mint...
As @paddyman98 says..... However it is a nice keeper as a stepping stone toward building your coin knowledge.
Oh jeez!! It’s a copper? Good night. Time for me to hit the sack apparently. So sorry OP. Disregard all I said there.
I don’t think we minted a half in 1800 did we?
The most often counterfeited mistake is the middle serif of the letter “B”. Though granted I can’t see it these days, the true VDB has an odd...
Difficult to make out any details on my phone. That does appear to be an 1800 dollar. And that is a desirable coin. As worn as it is my bet is...
