burns1210 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Got this from my dead Uncle's collection. The obverse strongly resembles some colonial coins, but not the reverse. I'm not even certain its a US coin. Thanks!

Drusus Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Luckily the portrait is recognizable even when this worn and I am partial to German and Austrian coinage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
