no idea..hard to read

[ken-tuck]

its a little bigger than a quarter....and the figure looks like a minute man standing with a rifle i think..
the other side has a boat of some kind...the only words i can read say ohio valley...i think.
its not in the best shape.
thanks for looking

Lower right side with the boat, it appears to read OHIO VALLEY. A picture with less glare could make it easier to make out more letters.

How about a 1888 Ohio Valley Exposition 'so-called dollars.' Nice find, Breezie

In the first photo it looks like it says "Centennial" on one side of the hole and "Exposition" on the other side. I would say Breezie is onto something.

yeah you maybe right....that would make sense.....sorry for the glare...camera not working so i use the scanner...........
thanks

And thanks for the photoshop tutorial. I have photoshop but have never figured out how to use it. I bought my computer loaded from a company that made computer games and photoshop was already on here. Monty
