mserafi1 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/17/2015 4:51 pm Found this in a coin jar and couldn't identify it on the internet. Someone must have planned to mount it on a ring or pair of spurs as the one side had been ground flat. It's 11/16's of an inch in diameter and looks to be lady liberty facing left with 13 stars around the circumference. I'm curious and would appreciate any help in identifying it. Thanks. Mike S.

Mayflower2020 Pillar of the Community United States 624 Posts	Posted 08/17/2015 4:57 pm Looks like an 1893 liberty head nickel. Might just be worn down a little in suze? Report this Post to the Staff
mserafi1 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/17/2015 5:16 pm The other side has been ground smooth which is why I thought someone planned to solder it to something as an ornament. It's also pretty thin which is why I mistook it for a dime. Thanks for the help.....mike s. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 08/17/2015 8:28 pm Perhaps someone was making a love token and gave up. The damage on the obverse is probably the result of the reverse getting sanded or whatever. If you don't have any plans for that coin ... you could always get your initials engraved on it.
