I thought I would give this new forum a try. The "coin" was a recent find at a S.E. Pennsylvania farmhouse, built 1740. Dimensions are 29mm diameter (1.175 inches) and .065" thick. It is not round, but rather "almost round". Material is copper. It is very flat, no hammer marks, and very smooth. I know this looks like it might be an old large cent (I found two 1808's 1Cent on the same property), but what intrigues me is the carvings on the surface, They were not just punched there, or scratched in. Who ever did this took their time. I am moreinterested in knowing if anyone can recognize the markings. I will send the reverse side on my next posting. NO, there are no other markings, as if to say it once was a coin. Sorry for the blurred photo. I am still getting the hang of this. Thanks! JH
