a animal at his shoule.r? Were wanting someone to tell us what a coin is and what its worth. It has liberty wrote on the front, with a man and a rifle with some sort of animal at his shoulder. and on the other side it has a eagle. We cant make out a date because its so old i guess? Does anyone have a clue?
it has three stars with united states of america across it of course, with the eagle .

Well it is not a coin. It maybe a medal, token or what is called a silver round. If a silver round it would usually say one once of silver .999 on it some place. There are a lot of medals and tokens out there from the 1800's upward that different groups had made for centennials or just to celebrate some local thing. It may have something to do with Daniel Boone or Davy Crockett. I need to know what it says on it, if it has a legend. A medal or token that has be mishandled can look a lot older than it is and dates on medals or tokens are usually not the date made but the date of the event. I would need to see it, or at least a good quality scan or photo of both sides to try and track it down. If you know some one with a back grown in history they maybe of help. That is the best I can do for now.
