Appears to be a countermarked copper coin that someone tapped the edge on creating the rim.

Where did you find that puppy NightExplorer.

My first thought was "1 scruple" apothecary weight. (upside down) But it is too big for that.



Hard to say if it is tapped. Are we seeing both sides?

The reverse has no detail. It was found at a location where i found my 1794 liberty cap and countless flat buttons, musket balls, etc.

Can you tell us the exact weight? That may provide a clue.

"IC" is Roman numeral "99". Not that that actually helps any. But still..
