Nice... I collect those! I have a page of Republic era coins... they are quite pretty. I will look it up later and see what other info I can get for you. What are you looking for? Value? Can you post a pic?

Thanks for the help Uthminsta!! I guess...rarity and value is what I'm looking for. I can try. My camera doesn't have a macro setting (or maybe I just don't know how to work it properly?). I will try and get a pic up this evening.

KM-394.1, 2.09M of these were minted. It's a 100% COPPER coin that weighs in at 2.61G when new. Relatively a common coin, unless in AU grade with some luster. There is a valuable overprint variety 1902/899, but that one is rare.

Thanks Country, I forgot to look this up last night.
Saabman, do you have a scanner? You can lay it flat on the scanner bed, and it usually comes up pretty clear.

Bummer....the scanner route didn't work very well. I'll try and see if I can get my camera to focus better.
