VHall New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/24/2012 4:58 pm I'm hoping someone can help me identify a coin. I've looked all over the internet and can't find anything. I have a Texas dollar coin stamped with "WNW" on both sides with no date. The front has a star with "Texas Dollar" written in it along with a flag. There are 5 other flags surrounding the star. The other side has the outline of Texas with "Mockingbird" and "Bluebonnet" in it. It's gold color but I'm not sure if it's real gold. I would appreciate any help...Thanks!

noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 07/24/2012 5:04 pm Hi! The closest I could come up with is ebay item # 140766728092. The only problem is, the colors different, and the date says 1980. Could you take a picture so that we can see the coin? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/25/2012 10:35 pm It is a brass or bronze composition, gold does not corrode. It would have been created by a private minter, not the US Mint. What is the diameter? Report this Post to the Staff
VHall New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/26/2012 12:41 pm The diameter is slightly over one and half inches. Thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 07/26/2012 1:05 pm I find it interesting that although Texas was its own separate republic at one point that it did not have its own currency. Or am I wrong? Report this Post to the Staff
