OK, I'm going to add just a bit more. IF your item is real, it seems to match the Getz Pattern coins of 1792. You would of course want to have...
The design is similar to this (http://uspatterns.com/p5005.html). But, the bust of Washington is different. I have exhausted my "knowledge" by...
This appears to be similar to yours (though probably not real): http://www.cointalk.com/t5535/ If yours is real, it appears you may have...
In helping identify it, if you include in the picture a nickel or dime for size reference that would help people. Also, if you can weigh it, that...

I simply could not pass this one up. This is my newest addition to the growing herd of Kingdom of Hannover coins from 1815-1866 featuring the...
I'll mix it up a little with a non-coin Lincoln item. [ATTACH]
This is my most treasured new addition to my US Type Set. Notice the nice toning on the upper obverse. It has great luster and pleasing eye...
This one is really really hard. I have seen coins like this one grade anywhere from 50 to 62, and the slight spot could put it in the details...
Wow! Are psychedelic mushrooms abundant near the bureau of engraving and printing? ;)
On a side note, your pictures are really nicely done to show the coin.
69 or 70? really? There are NO Lincoln or Washington circulation dollars graded MS69 or MS70. There are some Satin Finish ones graded MS69, but...
