Best Answer

Your coin is almost certainly a privately-issued token, commemorative item, or fantasy piece. You'd need to have it examined in person by a knowledgeable dealer or collector to be sure.

It doesn't fit the description of any US nickel, for several reasons:

  • The first official US Coins were minted in 1793.
  • The first nickels were minted in 1866.
  • Shield nickels have 13 stars but the denomination is on the same side.
  • Liberty head nickels also have 13 stars and the denomination is on the other side but it's given in Roman numerals rather than words or letters.
