filip Valued Member Croatia (Locally: Hrvatska) 100 Posts	Posted 11/07/2013 8:58 pm Is this one so usual, that answer is so obvious (so nobody want to reply) or it is so unusual that nobody knows anything? I will be helpful for any hint... it is really small (8mm or 1/3 inches)... and looks really old. On the front side is Indian head and year 1877 + 13 stars (6+7), and on the back side US Capitol Building and the "value" - ONE PENNY. Report this Post to the Staff

filip Valued Member Croatia (Locally: Hrvatska) 100 Posts	Posted 11/07/2013 9:32 pm Thanks! I didn't mean that it is a real coin, I knew that is a token (I have specified that in the title). But, I thought that possibly somehow could be identified it's origin... it is really old. Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 11/07/2013 9:38 pm There were so many of these in so many designs. Seems like it would be pure luck to find any specifics. Report this Post to the Staff
