Thin cut silver from the river!

[timekiller]

Well it's been awhile but got out today.Only got 1.5 hours in before I had what was left of my headphone jack broke off. Yea I'm Hell on equipment. Anyway went to a site I hit hard last year and found a cob,& a couple of cut pieces from.It was my hope that there would be more washed out of the bank.But the water levels here have not gone down yet from all the rain.But I did manage this piece before my break down.I can't stand no headphones so I put my tail between my legs and headed home.Have not had time to look it up yet but it's a weird one the thinest and smallest I've found also cut very funny (off center).So any Ideas are welcome.The bottle was from a scouting mission few days back just thought I through it in as well.
Take Care,
Pete,

That looks like a hammered coin

Its not British & it looks broken & not cut. Possibly bent back & forth to break, but its a strange place to break it, so probably an accident

I have dug them cut like that. I think when they were in a hurry, it didn't matter much.

Nice AMERICAN find Pete!

Demas Barnes and John D. Park formed the Lyon Manufacturing Company in 1871 to sell medicines. Some info, including a great ad for this product here:http://www.rdhinstl.com/mm/rs167.htm

I'm working on it.
That oriental-styled image between the letters has me confused.

Your not by yourself.I'm a looking with no avail!

I believe it's Mexican. I read the 'G' then the mark then the letter 'H' and maybe a skipped space then the letter 'S'. That combination is found on Mexican coins; like: Ferdind VI D. G. Hispan, etc. Just wild guessing.

It's a cut above the rest my man. My group has never found a cut silver. Good to see you back swinging.

Colonial silver is good in any form, and I agree broken not cut. I have a piece of a very thin cob that that is broken.

The top picture appears to have the Japanese/Chinese kanji for year. Check this out...http://japanese.about.com/library/blkanji7.htm

I have the same kanji on some of my Japanese coins. However, this coin appears too thin to be a Japanese coin. This is just my two cents.

That's a cool looking cut/broken silver piece.

I hope someone will be able to identify it.

Congrats...

Your right IP,Cru I should of said broken.Cause it's nothing like none of my others which are cut and can easly be seen as cut.But it's so small & thin I've only held one other that was that thin and it was the Danish 1715 2 skilling the old man found.
