My dad just brought me a coin that he just found. It is very corroded and is barely readable. I took a little soap and water and tried to clean a little off so it could be read (i know some people are cringing when they read that). It is a two headed GW coin that is a little larger than a quarter. It could be silver. It has defined edges around the outside of the coin. It does have a hole in the top where it appears as if someone had drilled a hole. You can clearly read "George Washington" at the bottom of the coin. You can also make out "Treasury USA 1797" at the top. Turning the coin sideways, the coin appears to be a little warped and you can clearly see the raised strikings. There may be other marking but they are not readable. Both sides seem to be identical. I am not a coin collector by any means and your help idintifying the coin would be appreciated
You have one of the hundreds (if not thousands) of Washington medals that have been struck over the past 220+/- years. In the condition you describe it has no monetary value.
