Coinman177 New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 09/12/2016 8:00 pm Just wondering if this coin is worth anything and if it is brass or bronze, I work construction, and while an excavator was digging I noticed it in the pile of dirt. Edited by Coinman177 09/12/2016 8:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sorry but that would be the answer as you cannot surmise what would be without seeing the actual coin Cheers Don Vickies cents and GB Farthings nut. "Old" is a figure of speech and nothing more Edited by fourmack 09/12/2016 8:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 09/12/2016 9:10 pm Your coin is not brass. I think that there are less than 5 known of them out of over 9 million minted. In your condition, you wouldn't be able to tell what the compositon was because of the corrosion. Keep it as a pocket piece .. '59's are neat ... I have over 1000 of them.
