Stumbled across this at a yard sale this morning and couldn't help pick it up for a quarter. It's just a novelty coin right? Is it even silver? lol   |

It's definitely metal and not aluminum, has a tiny "ching" to it when you drop it.
It's so small acid testing it would get rid of half of it. lol

take a magnet to it, if it sticks, it's not silver...if it doesn't stick, it's silver

I'd pay $0.25 for it as a curiosity.. I find it very interesting...
I'd pay up to $1.00 for something like that... I'm thinking of using some pennies to make some wall art,..

So I did a very, very light scrape and it's definitely silver.
Go figure. lol

I went to the World's Fair of Money last year and there was somebody there selling miniature coins, but I didn't see any mini-Morgans. For a dollar or two you got a cent, nickel, dime and quarter.
They were also selling elongated coins.

I have a handful of similar miniaturized coins. Most seem to be made of aluminum.
