<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2549800, member: 39&quot;]As SuperDave wrote, this is not a coin but a fantasy piece. Apart from the &quot;wrong emperor&quot;, in 1878 the large or wide eagle was not used on actual coins. That was introduced in 1890. Such pieces were usually made as buttons or pendants, or for bracelets, etc. Also note that the mint mark was left out by whoever had this made. I would keep it, or give it to your daughter as you mentioned - not because of any metal value (I don&#039;t believe it is gold either) but because it is something that reminds you of your grandmother. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
