And more than likely its planted there to get people to bid on a roll worth a lot less than the winning bid will be. The scenario is common on ebay and has been for years.

I don't doubt that, I have just never seen this coin and was curious as to what it was.

It's likely a common U.S. French liberty head patriotic Civil War token. The date seems to be 1883, but it would be 1863 if it is a Civil War token. I recommend not bidding. See this link for similar designs: https://www.cwtoken.com/Civil_War_T...rty_Cap.htmlEdited by Classic Coins

OK yes, I think that you nailed it @CC. Sorry for the misdirection.  "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Again - I'm impressed by how quickly y'all can identify a blurry, half-visible "coin". Side note: I agree that the roll was "juiced" - unscrupulous sellers trying to jack up their prices. I've seen Mercury dimes and other bait dumped on the end of a roll, then the seller puts a headline like "Who knows what you'll find in these UNSEARCHED rolls!" I hate ebay. |

Civil war token. Such coins are often put in rolls by the seller to attract interest to an "unsearched" roll.
