bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 10/10/2012 4:01 pm I picked this out of a junk box today. (I'm in Canada.) Does anyone have any clue what it is? Sorry it's so worn, but it might still be identifiable. Oh, it's about the size of a cent, but a tiny bit bigger (say 1mm) and slightly thinner. It has some of the features of a civil war token, but it could well be something totally different. I'm just really curious. Thanks in advance for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 10/11/2012 6:50 pm OK I think I've figured out this coin, and it's simply a Mexican 1 Centavo, circa 1900. Staff: feel free to move the topic, and sorry for being on the wrong track. I was pretty sure it was some kind of U.S. token. Edited by bibd 10/11/2012 6:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
