LOL Actually IF it's a horseshoe, it's open down instead of up so it's meant to give luck out to others, not catch the luck for the possessor. it's interesting, no idea if it can be identified anymore. kind of looks like there might have been something at some point in the top of the horseshoe that was removed. Any idea on the size and weight of this piece, do you think it might be a modified cent perhaps or another countries coin possibly? Might be helpful to know how it was acquired, if it has a trail to somewhere or someone.[/QUOTE]
