Sap Moderator Australia 16947 Posts	Posted 08/04/2011 08:32 am Hello and welcome. I would guess a Conder token of some sort, perhaps a "Wooden Walls type. See this example. Condition is significant; a Conder token or pretty much any other alternative (such as a British halfpenny) would have writing of some kind on it somewhere. Is it worn enough that any lettering near the edges could have worn away, or does it look like no lettering was ever there at all? Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 08/04/2011 5:17 pm That is pretty cool, especially to show up in your back yard! I'm sorry though: I have no idea what kind of coin or token this is. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16947 Posts	Posted 08/04/2011 9:40 pm Ah, it's another one of these. We've seen them before, most recently here. It's not a coin, but we haven't any firm ideas as to exactly what it is. Best guess is a game token of some kind. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
