Real token or fantasy coin?


Recommended Posts

My guess is a fantasy piece. Though it is signed under the bust it is impossible to read it, that might have helpful.

 

Obviously the auction house has no reference or info on what it is but they could have, at least, shown the signature.

Thanks for the feedback, constanius! :art:

 

What is puzzling to me is that the piece looks like it had circulated. The weight given would make it approx. the size of a small cent. Unlikely that any store cards or other tokens would have circulated in the USA that late (date is 1877). My guess is that it was struck much later; since 1877 is the key date of the Indian cent series, my guess would be early 1900's or even later.
