[TD="colspan: 2"]Found this coin in a bag of dimes. It is really worn but the outline of the portrait looks fairly distinctive. I can see I think 1937 to the upper left near the rim. Google has been no help. I also found 3 silver (46-D, 57-D, and 64-D), 2 cents, 1 Australian cent, and 3 Canadian (No silver).

Thanks for the help[/TD]

What's the size (dime-sized?) and weight?

Wow.. Neat find.. I am definitely stumped.. Hopefully the experts can chime in and enlighten us.. I am certainly intrigued..

 

[Fropa]

It is the size of a dime. I haven't weighed it yet.

Post it in the What is It forum. You may get an answer there.

Way to easy, great post Sagittarius98.

Looks like a really worn King George dime to me.

Perhaps like this:

Nope. Does not strike me as Napoleon at all, plus you can see a couple letters on his coin and does not match.

The coin weighs 2.03g

At first glance, it looked like a Napoleon, but then I saw I was wrong. It also looked like VEIII, but the beard is way too low.

How about this one Fropa ?

50 Centimes - Lopold II (french text) - Belgium - Numista

When new it was 2.5g; but after one hundred years or so........it could have been "worn reduced" to your 2.03g.

 

[Fropa]

Good call thurmownator. That is the coin I'm thinking it is. You can see part of the outline of the crest on the reverse and what might be part of the outer design on the right hand side.

 

[GlenDronach]

That looks like it to me, as well. Great researching!

It seems similar. The bust looks slightly off though, but the lettering could be correct.
