Small road trip almost a bust

[nube250]

I hit a small town about 10 miles away from me today. I went to all 6 banks in town asking for halfs and large dollars. I got about $140 in loose halves and total skunk.. One the way back home there is a branch of my dump bank so I stopped to cash it in..

The teller was giving me the third degree about where I got all the halves, thinking I stole someones collection.. I gave her one of my coin collector/metal detector business cards and she finally calmed down and gave me my cash. She then went to the machine and pulled out the reject bin and let me look through it! I offered her a dollar for the contents and she said you can just have it!

I did find 1 53 rosie! It also had $2.12 in banged up clad and a small amount of foreign most notably a 1947 Canadian nickel.

Any Idea what this lil token/coin is? Looks religious but ??

I have no idea what your "token" is, but I'd guess that it is a reproduction of some ancient coin. Someone on here will know.

Looks like a repro of a Widow's Mite



^Authentic



^Repro


A pretty common Roman coin, but has gained popularity due to it being the focus of one of Jesus' parables (Luke 21:1-4)

But you can buy authentic ones for under $20 or so depending on the grade

Can you make the foreign picture bigger?

Yep, it looks like a reproduction of a Widow's Mite.

Does it stick to a magnet (the higher quality reproductions do)?
Does it "thud" like a lead sinker when dropped on a wooden cutting board (lesser quality reproductions)?
