Saxonearth New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/05/2024 3:19 pm This coin was found metal detecting a farm field in New England; it measures 14mm. Any help with an ID would be greatly appreciated! (I apologize in advance for blurriness and probable mis-orientation!) Report this Post to the Staff
