Small Silver Coin?

gr33ko · May 11, 2011

My best guess is that its confederate. Seven stars is indicative of the "stars and bars" flag.

(March 4, 1861 – May 21, 1861)

Hope thats a good lead.

I don't think it is the coin. I'd guess rather a token

Have the coin checked for silver...looks like a play dime to me.

One year later I am bumping this thread to see if anyone can ID this coin/token.

Thanks

Did anyone ever get an answer to this thread? I just found almost the same one. Also only 12 miles away from Valley Forge so kind of in the same area.

Hmmm, image does not seem to appear on my other computers.

If not, the play money coin is most likely at this link: http://rfc33.tripod.com/p18.jpg

FM play money.

Free Mason

I'm going out on a limb here, maybe the FM stands for Free Mason and the 10 and 25 represent 10th and 25th anniversaries??

I already got my answer for my little guy. Thanks anyway.

I was going to ask the same question but didn't want to play AT's game. :no:

I may be wrong but feel he was on a fishing expedition... :yes:

It's aluminum not silver. Same size and is actually just a play coin. A fake dime for children.

My wife and I recently found a coin just like it. Has anyone been able to identify it?

I found this over 25 years ago. Thanks for asking the question "What is it?" Strange that it says no info available for this coin. Found mine in Connecticut.

It looks like play money made by Morris-Foster.

Coin 10 with 7 Stars

Hello,
I have the same coin. In fact, it looks just like the one you pictured. Same where & tear. I was wondering if you had an update on this coin? My dad cannot remember where he found it long ago.
Thank you!

See the listing for "FM" on page 18 of the book, Play Money of American Children by Richard F. Clothier (Washington, Mass.: Self-published, 1985), which is freely available at https://rfc33.tripod.com/.
