jcnoble New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/11/2012 4:07 pm A friend found an old coin in a draw and asked if I could find out something about it. On one side there appears to be the Letters "N" and "P" near the top and a "2" near the bottom. On the the other side there appears to be a wheat stock or head of wheat. That is all I can make out so any thoughts would be appreciated. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff
