Found Old Cob Coin? [SOLVED]

[swprman77]

Son found this coin a year ago during a winter snow storm under some snow..
Can not truly identify this coin. It approximately 1 /2" diameter...heavy...silvery colored...has some gold color in the crevaces of the etchings.

Looks like its been cleaned...

Anyone have a clue?!

I agree with the others. Its so shiny because its recently lost. I seriously doubt that its silver. This is a modern nickel plated common tourist souvenir. They are made in a silver or gold color usually plated pot metal. I have several exact matches in my files found by other members. Better than a zincoln for sure.
