@pick, I'm confused a bit by your pictures. I'm seeing a 1982 cent and a gilt button or something but the title and subforum had me expecting a large cent. Can you please explain what you are wanting from us? Thx.

This is not what a capped die looks like, and this design is nothing like any US coin, from 1822 or otherwise.

I would assume this is a button of some kind. With the prominent anchor below the eagle, I would assume some kind of nautical button.

Does look like a button and not a coin in any regards.

What's on the other side? Where do you get 1822 from? It's costs almost nothing to type more words.

I would assume that the second picture shows "the other side" - which shows an incuse-inverted image of the obverse, surrounded by rusty metal of some kind (which is why I am assuming "button"). It's that inuse-inverted effect that's presumably led the OP to guess "capped die", since this is an effect you can see on actual capped die pieces. However, in this case, I think we have a bracteate button - an item that was made by pressing the design through the thin metal from one side to the other. In medaieval Germany a thousand years ago, they used to make coinage in this fashion - but nobody's used this technique for coin-making since then.

I agree this is the front only of what would have been a 2 piece pressed back button. Possibly a post 1941 era US military Navy issue or a modern era reproduction. Without the back intact it is impossible to date. Zero value in this condition.

A 1982 cent then a button. What is the connection that you have a question about?

Not entirely accurate.

Technically, those are "tokens", not "coins". But point taken.
