	Strange coin « on: May 08, 2017, 08:28:22 pm »

I have a brass coin in my possession that I am having trouble identifying. It has strange characters on the front over the capital letters of "OC". On the reverse side is a shaft of wheat and more strange characters around the perimeter. The photos I have attached are 800 x 600 but I can PM or Email JPEGS if you need a larger version. Wait.........Do I smell "Silver"? How about a silver Washington quarter as a reward for the first person to correctly identify the country of origin and language.

NOTE: Pictures look like silver, but coin is yellow brass. Flash on camera washed out the color.

A bad day at gold prospecting or metal detecting is better than a good day at work.

Been busy gold prospecting, designing 2 new metal detectors and other chores. Cheer up Homie, you were only a quarter short this time. Cry
