<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moen1305, post: 224203, member: 2544&quot;]Originally I was going to to describe this coin and see if anyone could tell me what it is but then I thought, hey, I don&#039;t want it anyway so why not make a contest out of it.&nbsp; The first person that can post a picture of the coin I describe, same year or not, can have it if they want it.&nbsp; That&#039;s the contest.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>While searching through a bag of 50 dollars in cents I came across a very worn copper coin the size of a U.S. cent.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure it is a U.S. cent because I can&#039;t make out any of the writing.&nbsp; On the reverse, it has a large number 1 with a visible date of 1860 underneath.&nbsp; The outter edge is some sort of flora tied at the bottom with some kind of string or ribbon.&nbsp; The &quot;branches&quot; don&#039;t meet at the top of the coin similar to the wheat shafts on the back of a lincoln cent coin.&nbsp; &nbsp; No other detail is present.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse looks like it might have some sort of bird with spread out wings and words all or part of the way around the rim.&nbsp; Possible letters are &quot;ICHIS&quot; near what I&#039;m guessing is about the 5 o&#039;clock position of the face.&nbsp;&nbsp; Not much else is visible.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Any guesses?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
