When I was little (starting at about 5) I started filling up books with all the years/mint marks from change my parents had. My friends were in to baseball cards and my parents thought this was a better hobby for me to do. I think it might have just been they thought this would cost less and occupy more time :)

I got pretty in to it and must have talked a lot of people's ears off about it because people started giving me misc coins they had. I'd go to school with a little bit of change, and ask random teachers to look at any change they had, if it was something I needed I'd give them a penny for a penny I needed, etc. I haven't really thought about this in my adult life and have to laugh a little at it now looking back.

The neighbors traveled and gave me maybe 50 coins in all from their travels (All unique, maybe covered 15 or so different countries). This was included in that pile they gave me but they couldn't tell me where it was from, neither of them knew.

I'd love to know what it is I did take to a coin shop when I was way younger but they didn't know what it was.

TLDR; Neighbors gave me coins when I was 5 or 6 years old, I don't know what this one is and am curious to know what it is.
