It weighed 2.5, I think it is the small date, but do not know for sure. Is this coin rare at all? Anyone know the value? It does have some DD I believe. Let me know attaching a Pic now.

captainmandrake1 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 06/03/2024 02:56 am Picture is kind of blurry, but it looks like a small date to me. The Weight Tolerance checks out. It's made of zinc, circulated, and not worth much. I am a rank amateur though, so my advice is subpar; better wait for others to chime in! Report this Post to the Staff
