Looking for a childhood memory

[francis]

when I was a kid the corner grocer had a coin collection taped to his glass counter. I remember a very small silver coin that may have been a 1/2 dime or some odd denomination like 1/2 penny. I remember the face of the coin best....a baby's face with a little curl on his forehead. I have looked for this everywhere but have never found such a thing, nor has anyone I've talked to seen this coin. Can anyone tell me what this was? I'm assuming the coin was U.S. but that may not be. Thanks. francis

The U.S. half-cent has a "matronly" woman with a curl.

scroll down through these coins... if it was American coinage you'll see it pictured here... probably.
