So I was at my local coin shop for my weekly visit and I asked what kind of rounds they had available. They said an old guy had come in this weekend and cashed all of his silver out. Among old Engelhard and JM bars (which I grabbed), I found these rounds I had never seen before. I liked the look of them cause they were simple and raw, and obviously old. I have been looking for about an hour and I can't find anything on who minted it/where/when it was minted. If you figure it out for me I'll send you a pre-1900 Indian head penny for free. Here's the pictures (front and back):
No clue what it is, probably a private mint that's long gone by now.
That reminded me of when I went to a coin dealer near where I live and spent like $11 on a penny from 1899 in very poor condition, just to say I have a pre-1900 coin.
