XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 10/12/2015 7:26 pm Hello, I found this in a huge wholesale lot of foriegn coins I bought recently. It appears to have the reverse design of an Irish Half Penny (and is the size of such a half penny), however the obverse does not seem like any issue of half penny I am aware of. It also looks like it was struck off center. Anyone have an idea what this might be? Many thanks in advance, -XoG Report this Post to the Staff
