Commem Coin
? is the signif. of commem.coin datd 1789 denver mint (size is abt silver dollar)?
one side of the coin says ‘ united states mint ‘ ‘denver colorado ‘ with a two story building pictured and on the other side of the coin it says ‘ the department of the treasury 1789 with picture of a shield showing justice scales and a skeleton key separated by a single shevron with stars ‘ the coin appears to be made of copper and is the size of a silver dollar
Well, obviously it is not from 1789. In Denver? At that time, the US Constitution had only been signed for about a year, the Department of the Treasury was formed by Act of Congress that year. So you have a coin that commemerates the founding of the Treasury and shows the Treasury Dept bldg in Washington DC. There should be a date showing the striking date and a valuation somewhere on the coin. Good luck in finding out more about it. I would suggest looking at some numismatistic sites on google.
