Hello Everyone,

My son found this some time ago, but had misplaced it and it resurfaced today.

The coin is pretty thin and has a Roman V with what looks like a wreath around the V. I can't really make out anything else on either side but that.

It is golden in color. The diameter appears to be roughly 13/16"

Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

The back looks like a V nickle, but the front shouldn't have writing on it. Just a bust with stars around it.
The photos are blurred, but I can still see letters around the front.

I thought V Nick as well but it looks a bit off . The obverse here looks like some lettering and the V nickel only had stars. There was a pattern V Nickel that had usa instead of the star pattern.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts.

One thing to note is that the V on the coin is not centered like on a V Nickel but appears to be closer to the top of the coin than the bottom.

Again, thanks very much for your input!

It almost looks like there's another wreath on the other side with something in it and maybe writing around it. Maybe try taking a good focused picture with some side lighting.
