I'm a very amateur coin collector to say the least! In the several years I've been doing so I've come across some pretty cool things such as this! I found it on 7/8/24!! My oldest coin so far! Before this oldest was a 1918 Wheat penny (have 38, some years multiple years) 2 Buffalo nickles, 1923 Mercury dime, 3 silver quarters. If anyone interested in seeing others please feel free to ask! I'm excited to have people to share my coins with who understands me geeking out over them!!! LOL  *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. ***

 to the CCF How and where did you 'find' this? Was it hidden in a drawer and recently rediscovered, come from a bank roll of cents, given in change at a store?
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

Thanks for placing in right spot! Sorry still learning. And to answer your questions on where I "found" it....I work at a mom and pop gas station and found it in a penny roll from local bank!! I've been collecting before I started working there (3 months ago) but I've found few cool coins including this!! How much is it worth?

You could get as much as $1. I think it would have more of a sentimental value though. John1

 I'm a newbie as well, though I started collecting as a child and recently got back into the hobby. The most fun is finding something in change or a roll. Second most is acquiring a coin you really, really like. You have plenty of opportunities to grab a coin from the 1800s for a reasonable cost... even a beautiful Morgan dollar. Have fun!!

Working someplace where money changes hands is always a great way to bolster one's collection. But I took it one step further--I go to my local Subway every day for lunch. I've become good friends with one of the women who works there, and I gave her a list of all the Washington quarters I need to fill in some holes. In two weeks, she found five of the coins I needed!
