found a copper coin from 1914 that is smaller than a dime had jagged edges double eagle design what is it??
i looked under coins and talked to coin people who say they have no idea. it looks like a Saint Gauden double eagle but it is mini sized, smaller than a dime. i cant seem to find any info. Is it worth anything?? is it rare??
I have been looking on every internet site and i have looked in numerous books, it has been over a year that i have looked for info on this coin. I was told that it could be commemorative or from a private mint. I was also told that it does not exist. I have heard that someone may have paid 4 or 5 dollars for it back in 1914 and that it was a commemorative coin for the 1st world war, but these are all guesses. No book or coin expert or website can say for sure and it is making me crazzzzzyyyy!!
It is not a coin that was minted by the U.S. mint. It seems to me to be one of the group of mini coins that have been made over the years. It is not from 1914. It was probably made during the 1960's for that was when all kinds of coin type things showed up. At one time back in the 1980's I saw an ad in a coin paper for a group of 40 something different, mini coins. Ranging from a mini large cent to a double eagle. It even included varieties of the coins. The part that has me confused some, is the jagged edges, it sounds like someone did that and not the people that made them. The reason you can not find any info, is that the so called coin is a novelty and not a true coin or collectors item. It was a fad that died out, even though sets of our current coinage in miniature is sometimes advertised in the coin papers of today. Hope this helps and I know this is not the answer you would have liked, sorry.
