<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Onehawk33, post: 455874, member: 13978&quot;]At our coin club meeting tonight a member had an example of a one tenth silver cent.&nbsp; On the obverse it read &quot;One tenth silver cent&quot; and &quot;United States of America&quot; on the reverse.&nbsp; There was a perfect circle missing from the center, which was speculated used to contain a small amount of silver.&nbsp; The diameter was approx. the same as a small cent.&nbsp; Does anyone else have any info regarding such an item?&nbsp; One member thought he&#039;d remembered them being produced sometime circa 1890&#039;s.&nbsp; Knowing the owner, I assume him to have a fairly decent library; but he stated he couldn&#039;t find anything in his references.&nbsp; Any other info would be appreciated, very curious.&nbsp; 1 mill is often used as a property tax increment, I wondered if it may be associated with property tax assessments.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
