Trying to figure out what this coin ring is and where it came from
I know this may not be the correct place to ask this but, I've been
unable to find anything helpful as of yet anywhere else. I have a ring that has a 1906 coin with a 3D stamped face. It's a womans face and from what I can see, there are leaves around the head or possibly just on either side. Does anyone have any idea what this is / where it came from / any other info?

Does anyone have any idea what this is / where it came from / any other info? Just to update. I think it's a 1906 Barber Dime.. I'm not sure. But going off a search, someone was talking about Barber Dimes with "3D images of a womans face" pressed into the coin. From what they said, many of these were made at the Pan-American Exposition. Still trying to track down any other info though..

Still trying to track down any other info though.. Chris, It would be useful to see pictures of the face of the coin in your ring and a horizontal view of the coin. That way people who know can confirm its identity, and those that don't can learn.
