okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 04/10/2011 8:54 pm I can narrow it down for you - it is NOT an 1859 since it has a shield on the reverse, Other than that, hard to say what the date is with the hole on top of it. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3278 Posts	Posted 04/10/2011 9:27 pm Pretty big hole at that. I agree, it looks CuN, so that narrows it down to 4 years Report this Post to the Staff
Funny Money Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 04/10/2011 10:48 pm My guess is 1861...I think I see the curl of the 6 and the line of the 1, but.... Report this Post to the Staff

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 04/11/2011 10:24 am Well, the last feather is between the I and C or America, so that brings it to 1859-1886 range. 59 has no shield, so now down to 1860-1886. The N is too strong on the reverse for it to be an 1877 (sorry!). It does look like a copper-nickel to me too, narrowing it to 1860-64 range. Report this Post to the Staff

dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 04/11/2011 12:19 pm regardless of the year - the hole in it renders it nearly worthless. at least not more that 1 cent. its just a cool coin to own. keychain or charm would probably be a fitting place for this one.

rjkingston Pillar of the Community United States 642 Posts	Posted 04/11/2011 12:35 pm I see a 1--0, so by mycrob's assessment it's an 1860. Not nearly worth the trouble though. Report this Post to the Staff
