Found in a camp near Antietam Battlefield. It's the size of a half doller, and is either copper or bronze? HELP! Thanks.[attachment 49593 hammeredcoinjpeg.JPG][attachment 49594 hammeredcoin2jpeg.JPG][attachment 49595 oldcoin.jpg]
 
Your old coin is an old Religion medalion. I have a 1830 medalion from Italy with the same marks on it.
 
Hi all...
I found out some more information about my find on another board.
It's a bronze Byzantine coin...
THE FORMAL ATTRIBUTION IS AS FOLLOWS:

Justin II Folis
Constantinople mint
Struck year 10 (574/5 AD)
Obverse: D N IVSTININVS PP AVG; Justin holding cross on globe, and Sophia, holding cruciform sceptre, seated facing on double throne.
Reverse: Large M, cross above, delta below; ANNO left; X (regnal year)right; CON in exergue.

Reference: SEAR BYZANTINE COINS AND THEIR VALUES #sb0360
