Folded dollar coin?

[willie d]

I found this in a a shed of an eviction cleanout.

When I picked it up I assumed it was lead due to the weight.

Later I tried bending it by hand, but it didn't budge.

After closer inspection, I noticed what appears to be a reeded edge.

Also found some lettering.







Looks to me like NE as in ONE


Looks like RD?


Could be R at the end of DOLLAR

Im from Pittsburgh myself. Born in the Homestead Hospital, weaned on Iron City Beer. My Dad and his Dad worked US Steel Homestead Works. Collected their pay at the "Hole in the Wall." http://www.flickr.com/photos/10077757@N00/2191222018/in/set-72157603709750359 My Great Grandfather was the Postmaster of Homestead after surviving the Civil War. He lost a leg. Lots of family from Pittsburgh. I have very good childhood memories in that town. I went to school in Clairton and later West Mifflin. My Dad was a Bronze Star recipient at Anzio in WWII, worked 17 years US Steel, fell off a ladder, broke his back. They told him to push a broom so he quit his job and told us kids to get in the car and we drove to Florida. Never looked back, he didnt even bother to fight for his pension or hire a lawyer. People didnt run to lawyers back in those days. All hard workers, proud people in Pittsburgh. Back in the day when the USA still manufactured steel that built the Empire State Building and Golden Gate Bridge.. Those mills along the river churned 24 hours a day 365 days a year... ...They tell me now deer roam the old mills. http://www.brooklineconnection.com/history/Facts/Steel.html



Poem I found online The Big Gray Ugly http://www.angelfire.com/pa4/wolfdancer/bgu.html
Making steel for armor, tanks, shells
Battleships and Carriers
WWI, WWII, Korea, Nam
Pumping Iron, Making Steel
Empire State and US Steel Buildings
Locks for the Panama Canal
The Brooklyn and Verrazanno bridges
You name it
all that steel came from
The Big Ugly

Ah OK I remember. Mesta Mach Co. Pittsburgh is a nice place with nice people.. Miami has become a cesspool. Paradise lost. Diggummup refers to living here as "living in a cesspool on a slab of concrete." Sorry to get off topic.

That's what I was thinking. If it was folded over and then over one more time (into 1/4th the size) minus a little loss and the drilled hole, it would have to be much larger than it is to be a crown, silver dollar, or trade dollar (pound, frank, etc). But there is no sign of 2 folds. Just one.

4th picture down looks like two folds to me.

Yes I see it also. There are 2 folds. The coin is 1/4 of its original size.
