Sap Moderator Australia 16845 Posts	Posted 07/30/2006 01:01 am America hasn't ever issued octagonal cents. I can't even recall any country issuing octagonal coins back in 1851. I assume it's a token of some sort... post a pic and we might be able to find some more info. 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

Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 07/30/2006 08:43 am I agree with Sap. There has never been an official octagonal U.S. coin. There were some territorial gold pieces issued in California by assayers, and it just happened to be 1851, but if you had one of these you would know it right off the bat.
