Any ideas what this is?

Hello everyone,

A little about me and my collecting fun is going to the local Assay Dealer (Thanks Tom!!!) and go through the Morgans/Peace Dollars/Etc... w/ my checklist, and am working on assembling a a set of Morgans for the price of silver, so far, I've done very well. Today I looked in the scrap silver bin and found this and was curious as to know if anyone knew anything about it? I got it for the price of silver, about $30 and would be interested if I got anything here other than a new poker chip. There is writing on the rim too. I wish I knew how to do the awesome beautiful images you all do. I do have a nice camera, that's not the problem. I always get knocked for the file size being too big.

Thank you!
Jeff

Thank you Bob!

And thank you for the info on it. Sounds like I got exactly what I paid for, nothing more?

Still a nice coin... and some darkside coins help to add variety to a collection. Cheers, RickO
