Hidy j . If I knew what part of the State you found it might help a little . It should be a .69 cal. But the only two in my books one , the .69 cal . British sea servic . But the nose is not the same . The other is the .69 cal . prussian that looks a little like it . It is more than likely C.W. because of the oxidation on the inside of the hole . You must have found it in a park or wooded place or next to water . those tend not to grt as white as one found in open fields . The way the back is rounded in deep I would say CSA . There was so meany differnt kinds I dont thank they have ever came up with all they used . And I would say it was holded for a good reason , maybe got hit with it . I have a pice of lead that came out of some one , they put it in another pice of lead and carred it in there pocket for a long time . And if you would heate to get hit by that one , I will put a pitc. of a .71 cal. setting beside of a .69 cal. I have found one . They are hard to find . I will also put a pitc. of just a few of the bullets that came from Shilon and thoses are not close to all the differnt kinds . I hope it is ok to put these pitc. on here like this . if not I am sorry Good luck in all .
Wow... thank you so much for the information. It was found around the East-Central side of Iowa. I'm sure the bullet traveled with the person who was originally wearing it and then dropped in the park. I hadn't realized there are so many types of these bullets.
I really appreciate your input and enjoyed the pictures. :yes: Thanks again.
 
Very very nice coins, and the CW bullet is a great find. Take my word for it you would never want to be hit with one of these things. Congrats on a great hunt. :perfect10: :perfect10:
