John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/09/2011 11:35 am Found this one last week.Not sure what is going on with it.It weighs 3.1g. The Obverse has a line going all the way around it but the Reverse doesn't. The edge is very odd. I'm thinking it was once in a piece of jewelry or maybe a medal or something? All input welcome.Thanks all,John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 01/09/2011 9:17 pm Color looks odd also for a U.S. copper. Maybe an already upset foreign planchet that was then struck with LMC dies. Obverse shows collar difference. Report this Post to the Staff
