    No idea of origin... and it is unlikely anyone will be able to determine that. Cheers, RickO

    You need to find the first 9 (I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX) in order for them to all come together to grant you the keys to unlimited wealth and power.
    Good luck! image

    UconnL, I think I found your coins' cousin:

    Looks like someone was upset that they got this nickel and had to stamp it a few times (or they were weak).

    I've seen the X stamped on two or three other contemporary counterfeit shield nickels. Now is it possible that there was a stamp punch kit that a bank used on counterfeit coins? Or is it that someone used a lower case X stamp on your cent and a upper case X stamp on my nickel from an kit that contained the whole alphabet?

    How much does it weigh?

    I would suspect it is a local revauation system where these coins pass for 10 cents, 10 centavos, 10 pesos - 10 whatever. Where? Who knows.
