I'd say we have quite a mystery on our hands, which I find intriguing to say the least. Here again are the photo's I initially posted with the inclusion of two others; the first photo posted here is obviously of the obverse taken in a different light. The other coin I included is the last photo here, which is a side view of the coin, placed next to a newly minted coin; noted the difference in thickness, it's obviously thinner. I felt adding these additional photo's might aide in determining what it is we have here, and help us to reach some consensus. However, whether we do or not is not all so important, as opposed to having had the opportunity to speculate, given our varying degrees of knowledge and expertise, and the pleasure in sharing such. There is one issue I'd like each of you to consider. Look closely at the last letter "A" in the word America and note there is an indentation there that exposes the inner workings of the coin. It makes it clear this coin is primarily copper or bronze. I'm hoping someone out there can figure it out because my best guess still, is that it's transitional; suffice it to say, it's an inadequate conclusion at best as is each of our best guess's, for that is all we can possibly offer under the circumstances!
