Thought at first it was a seated dime... Was not to be but was a French-Indo-China 1902 dime. How that got to Sheboygan, WI who knows. Still Silver so it's still a good find..... ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1426895275.369831.jpg

It may not be a seated, but a guarantee there are way fewer French-Indo-China dimes on American soil than seated dimes
- I would bet you're the only one who's found one of these in the US in a very long time. :thumbsup:

Great find, looks like they must be on a chain or something. Mine has the same hole. Any ideas out there?

Guessing it could be from the Mong population that these coins are coming from. Again does anyone have ideas on this? We have a large population of Mong in Sheboygan, so it fits my idea, maybe........

We have a lot of mong folks as well where I found mine.. So as a guess it is completely possible. It is very common for foreigners to wear coins.
