gxseries Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Shame that they are both holed. Btw it's not my coins - a friend was asking what it was. It was found in a secret compartment - quite a neat story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneydog Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I think the one on the right is a Draped Bust one cent (1796-1807). I can't see the left one good enough to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'm guessing 1700s white metal medallion for the piece on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneydog Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 That is an interesting find I think you might be right about the left one. That looks like a 22. cal. bullet hole through the pennie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpo Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I think the one on the right is a Draped Bust one cent (1796-1807). I can make out the date at 1800. No idea yet on the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Reminds me of a medal the Tower Mint makes. http://www.towermint.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneydog Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Vfox from the picture of the coin on the tower mint website it sure looks like a match at least for the obverse side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
