opvas New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 12/19/2012 8:16 pm Bought this while back can't seem to find any info at all...believe it's silver and 19mm or 20mm. First instinct was that it was perhaps some kind of pattern...maybe for a gold washington dollar? Or maybe it's just some sort fantasy? Any help out there... Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12334 Posts	Posted 12/20/2012 6:39 pm Let me begin by stating I'm not an expert on Washingtonia, just a collector with a variety of Washington-related pieces in my collection. Here are my thoughts... Your piece is not an official pattern for a US coin. While the US Mint has made a number of coin patterns featuring Washington over the years, the piece shown is not one of them. It's also not a medal produced by the US Mint. The piece you've shown looks like a token or game counter to me. Are you sure it's silver? I went through a book I have on Washington pieces to see if I could find it listed, but didn't locate it among the pieces included. My reply is not much help, I realize, but maybe a more knowledgeable collector of the material will be along shortly. Good luck! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

If it's silver that would be a nice premium. John Adams would have a number 2 on his reverse and Thomas Jefferson would be number 3 and so on. Report this Post to the Staff
