Diameter in MM? Weight in grams?
Or something we can use as a scale of size?
Bought or found? The story?
Maybe a messy US Barber coin.

Let me find a ruler :)

I found it in a collection of old coins in a repossessed home, I had authority to take whatever I wanted :) I'm going thru the collection now, so many old coins.... But mostly foreign so its not as easy to identify via google as usa coins.

Does that help? I do not have any way to weigh something this size...

Some of the pre 1930 coins found in this collection so far, for anyone's viewing interest and pleasure. Maybe I should post this in the what I found section.

if you can identify 3 stars below the eagle its date is between 1917 to 1930. If not if i remember correctly it may be older. I found one with the three stars a while back but mine was a walking liberty quarter. Some of our old hands here may be able to identify better

Thanks guys..

Yep.. cant quite make out any stars under the eagle... But at the least worth its weight in silver.

If you need any help with IDs or values of the coins you found, just PM me and I will send you my email so that you can send pics of both sides of each coin for ID/value purposes.

Based on the wear, enlargement, and misshapenness, I would say it is a barber half that was run over/hammered.
