KS_JCB New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/25/2008 11:25 am I found this coin on a dirt road in Kansas about 30 years ago. Does anyone know its origin/age/value? It is approximately the size of a US Lincoln Penny (maybe 1/16" smaller in diameter) The front has no dates or discernible writing, only a design. The backside is blank.

Sap Moderator Australia 16947 Posts	Posted 09/25/2008 6:01 pm It's not like any coin I'm familiar with. It may be a local token of some kind, or perhaps not even numismatic at all - a badge, button or piece of decoration that's fallen off something larger. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

soldier4Christ Valued Member United States 419 Posts	Posted 10/04/2008 02:09 am I flipped the picture upside down and messed with the contrast and saturation. I'm not at home so I don't have Photoshop with me so I can't play with it more complex than this right now. I'm pretty sure that is the beak and eye of some type of bird... I don't know if that can help in the identity but at least it is a try. http://picasaweb.google.com/Coleman...925530502450 God Bless and hope it helps.
