I took it with my phone using one of those apps I got from play store but its the best quality. Also bare with me cause I know that this coin isn't in its best shape or condition so I am not hoping that I found a big one. But I found this coin in my purse and it has some rounded marks around his head on the obvrse. If anyone has time to look it over and let me know if I found anything worth keeping that would be great thanks. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

As mentioned, probably from a coin wrapping or rolling machine. Still worth 5 cents though. Report this Post to the Staff
