I have to disagree.
They do have value, both historic and monetary.
Although the value to the machine struck coins is slim (maybe a buck or two) the "cool" factor is still there.
I find the cast coins often while metal detecting here in the Gold country and it always makes me smile...
Never detected a machine struck one though.
Cool Find..
Mattlock,
I read that post awhile back. It is 8 years old.
I would have to say that they are wrong on it being a copy.
Most of the copied cash coins that I've encountered were cast and only one sided.
The modern stamped coins that I've seen had the field dimpled to simulate being cast like what was said in that post.
This coin is definitely a original stamped cash coin from the 1890's
