Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 01/05/2018 10:40 pm @postusmail, first welcome to CCF. Second, I wonder if this is actually a button cover. Does the edge look like it might have been joined to something else at some point?

postusmail New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 01/05/2018 10:44 pm thank you. so glad I found your forum. My daughter and I have a lot of foreign coins to go through and this is one we found but not sure what it is. It is very thin and no I don't think it was a button. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 01/05/2018 10:52 pm Ok well maybe not a button cover, but there aren't many coins outside of a few from ancient Greece that I know of where the same design is on the obv and rev, with one side incuse and the other in relief. That portrait looks more like Thomas Jefferson.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/06/2018 01:20 am It does appear to be a trinket of some sort. Possibly something at one time attached to a book, cover, belt buckle or something to that effect. I's not a coin. What material, aluminum perhaps? Report this Post to the Staff
RogerRamjet Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 01/06/2018 01:35 am This item doesn't appear to be a coin because it doesn't specify a denomination or an issuing government or organization. A button cover is a pretty good guess though. For clues, consider the history of the place where it was found. In general, we advise against cleaning coins and old artifacts because it usually destroys most value. Report this Post to the Staff
