No information yet....I've been a little too busy to follow up. That is a very strange coincidence.
Jesyca...This may sound a bit weird but I found the exact coin in my garden about a week ago? Did you do any further research on it?
Jesyca,
What I CAN say about that piece is that there is no documented information of a coin like that ever being produced by the U.S. Mint, so it is therefore some kind of novelty coin or perhaps a medal. However, it may be in fact a very old novelty coin or medal with some value in the novelty coin/medal market---but I cannot say for certain as I have not come across a piece like that and do not have much background in novelty coins.
My best advice would be to bring your coin to a coin dealer and see if he or she can either figure out the value of that piece based on his or her knowledge and/or direct you to a novelty coin dealer who may have a more-expert opinion.
Good luck!
I just found a commemorative James Tyler coin (It has the words the Accidental President around the edge) and I think it might be quite old. It is hard to tell. I found it in the garden of my office which is a renovated Victorian from the late 1800's. There is no mint date on it and it looks very different than anything I can find online. Any ideas about how I can found out more about it?
A president must have been deceased for at least 2 years before making it onto a coin in the Presidential $1 Coin series.
How long does a president have to be dead before a coin will be issued?
