<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3674177, member: 97383&quot;]I bought the coin pictured below at least 40 years ago at a coin show in Rochester, NY. I lost the coin when I moved about 5 years ago &amp; found it over the weekend <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The coin was marked pattern on the 2 X 2 flip with no other information. It appears to be copper or bronze, weighs 10.7 gm, &amp; the diameter is 27.85 mm. My 87th edition of World Coins, 1801-1991 by Krause &amp; Mishler does not list this coin, however they do list other 2 cent coins with a similar obverse minted in 1847 that appear larger than my coin. The reason I bought the coin is because the design seemed so American <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, especially with the motto <b>IN GOD WE TRUST</b> on the reverse. It looks like the Liberian flag inspired the design of this coin, see photos below the coin. It appears to be in mint state or nearly so with the reverse deeply toned but much original red on the obverse. Does this coin have any market value today <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]987178[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]987179[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]987180[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
