I discovered the following lump in amongst the 5 cent pieces I was noodling today. Who wants to guess what it is?

All will be revealed later on today, but in the meantime here is the BEFORE photo...

A slug?
And chocolate coins. If I ever get past that one problem, I'll collect them, too.

Because it is dirty and I mostly buy my ancients dirty, I am going to say that it is Roman. Now wouldn't THAT be cool?
There are currently 183 attributed Roman coins in my collection.

To my eyes, it looks a little too flat and sharp-edged to be an ancient.
It could be a lot of things--a slug, token, or even a balance weight--are there any markings?

I bet its a sixpence. It looks exactly like the one I found yesterday. It was 1962 and black as black.

Some sort of badge.
A friend is a present you give to yourself.

Well the orange section looks like Charlie Chaplin,
the blue section looks like a polar bear in a clown suit,
the yellow section looks like an indian rowing a canoe,
and the green section look like a saber tooth tiger head.
So I say it's a token for a 1920's Charlie Chaplin silent movie that stars a dancing polar bear and a saber tooth tiger in the wild west. Did I nail it or what?
