Found Railroad Track coin... but I think it's a half cent though :-(
During yesterday's hunt, I found a probable railroad track coin as it was thinner than a regular coin. It's also not uniformly round. After some cleaning, the word “LIBERTY” came clear, but unfortunately not much else. Weight is only 3.2 grams, so that puts it roughly in the Half Cent realm. It's slightly larger than a quarter, but smaller and thinner than a large cent. It almost looks like the date is 180x, but I really can’t tell for sure. The yellow arrow is pointing to the "8" in the date. Can anyone determine what design it actually is? The back is pretty much toast. I can only see the “EN” which can be seen in one of the pics. What do you guys think?
It's kind of neat but kind of a bummer for what looks to be my first half cent.
Thanks for your input!
