scotty11 Pillar of the Community United States 1042 Posts	Posted 02/16/2010 11:44 pm I found this while rummaging through some loose coins in my fathers collection. It has the "ring" of silver to it when bounced on a table top. It's 156 years old...and I have no idea as to where it came from, or as to how it made its way to California. Any thoughts?
