Colonial Coin, but what?

[bergie]

This is the second straight colonial coin I've found with nothing, just blank on both sides...oh, well...any ideas from weight and size in photos? (Thanks to Earthworm, I mean, Earthworks for the photos.)

So you are finding coins smooth on both sides?? Man you gotta find another place to dig.

Are you right certain they are not punch outs from electrical boxes? Look around the edges with a magnifying glass or loupe and see if you can see a couple of rough spits where it was connected to the box. These darn things fool a lot of people. Is it magnetic? Monty

!. What else did you recover from the spot you found it?

2. Have you tried a charcoal rubbing of the coin?

Thanks, guys. These are from colonial sites where other colonial relics are found, and these were dug at about 6 inches. I can't say for sure they are colonial coins, but given the types of sites, seems likely.

Sorry I can't help you out, I have the same problem. I dug one up a couple of years ago. Same size as a large cent, but a little thinner. Made of copper, smooth as a babys butt on both sides. Hope you can find something out.

I found a coin just like that a few years back. I looked really hard an the edges where lettering would be. I found a partial I and a really flat A. I figured it was a Brittanian coin.

it looks like a colonial copper to me. its a shame there is no detail left. judging from your location i would think a connecticut, new york or even a british copper coin could be strong possibilties. great find nonetheless phil! nice goin!
