es350 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/22/2017 6:46 pm Found this coin in a bag of wheat pennies I purchased from an estate sale. Not sure if it is U.S. or foreign. The only thing that I could make out was the words "UNION" and "CONS" * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

No expert here, not even close in Red Books list of colonials, so looking elsewhere. Just to the right of hole on front(?) Bust side are "ELD SCOT" Think this is ref to Sir Winfield Scott?
