cody174 New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 06/03/2017 10:38 pm Any ideas what the white "coin" is? I found it on a site with the 1903 and also a 1904 Indian head. Hoping it's something interesting. Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 06/03/2017 11:28 pm It almost looks like part of a lead seal. Something that was crimped onto something, almost like the old seals on mint bags kind of thing. Report this Post to the Staff

Pistareen Valued Member United States 309 Posts	Posted 06/04/2017 08:36 am Lead bale seals were used to assure a bolt of fabric meets standards and that it has not been shortened in transit. This was important to the sale of imported goods. The seal also could be proof of royal taxes paid. Google "lead bale seal" for more. Yours looks like it came from St. Louis and would be of recent manufacture. Report this Post to the Staff
