pam New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 10/18/2007 10:11 am HI My kids found a coins and I can not find out what it is> It is not in the best shape. The coin back side says 1826 - I can only make out ex on the top of the back the front side is in better shape- it has a shield with an eagle in it. a little crown on top of it,on top the shield there is a bigger crown on the sides there is greenery going up it, with a bow on the bottom the coin is about the size of a quarter but it is not round any one who has an idea that would be great thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 10/18/2007 12:08 pm All I can tell for sure is that it is not a United States coin. (The U.S. has always avoided crowns on their coins.) There are a lot of possibilities. It could be a coin, medallion, token, game piece, etc. A picture would really help. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 10/19/2007 03:40 am It certainly sounds like a German States coin. Specifically, Prussia. Their coat of arms seems to almost fit your description. Is this something like what you're seeing? Edit to add: Oh, and what metal is it made of? Silver? Bronze? Something else? And what exactly do you mean by "not round"? It sounds worrying... Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
