britnich84 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/25/2014 9:19 pm It looks almost ancient, I have looked all over the internet and can't find anything resembling it. It is very worn,and doesn't seem to be perfectly round. The back is so faded that it was even worth trying to get a picture, it looked almost like there were branches to each side. The coin I am refering to is the copper looking one, I just put the Peace dollar in as reference for size. Any help would be appreciated. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * to the identification section Report this Post to the Staff

britnich84 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/25/2014 10:21 pm Thanks for helping me out, I am new to the forum. I have always loved coins, but this one belongs to my dad. I will get better pics tomorrow with a better camera. He found it in the sixties in on our farm. His dad was also an avid collector since boyhood, so we have lots of goodies.glad to get acquainted with y'all. Report this Post to the Staff

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 12/25/2014 10:57 pm Just a wild guess based on the barely recognisable profile - Italian. With a better picture of both sides it should be quite easy to pin it down. And Report this Post to the Staff
