Actually, I have an 1803 U.S. coin of 'some sort' that I bought at a coin show when I was a kid. It's nearly impossible to tell anything about the coin other than that it is round, flat, and you can barely read the date on it. Once upon a time I knew more about it (well, what the dealer told me about it), but it has been stored away in a box with the rest of my coin collection since I was 11.
