stewartj New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/05/2017 9:44 pm I was give this by my father and cannot determine if this is a coin or token of some sort. It was found in the general area where I found a 1887 sitting liberty dime. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 01/06/2017 12:19 am Welcome to the CCF, Stewart .... Is the other side blank? A pic is needed, if so. This looks to be a mid to late 1800's token of sorts, counterstamped. Lacking more identifying info, like a name or town, it'll likely otherwise be a maverick. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/06/2017 10:05 am Certainly a token rather than a Coin, but I'm betting those counter stamps are early. Weight and measure would help a lot as it might even be a large cent replacement as in the Hard Times tokens. Let us know if the other side is blank, or provide a photo please.

stewartj New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 01/06/2017 10:02 pm I'll try to get the info and post back on here thanks for all of the help so far, and I am sure my father would also appreciate it. It is definitely blank on the other side, and was found in Goodlettsville, Tn. The Dime I found was dated 1887 and was found in the same general vicinity.
