I thought this looks funny so I bought it. Looks like someone's hammered this thing real bad. There are some details visible if you hold it up to the right light.nI took the pics at an angle, I hope it highlights some details. If you can't see it I'll be happy to point them out.

You could make out "_857" and "BANK OF UPP_ CANADA" going around. You could also see bits of a horse's rump, the horse's front legs, a cape, and the dragon, but no St. George!

If you turn it in a coin alignment you can see the bottom half of "TOKEN" and "ONE PE_". There's a crown on top, but no other useful details.

And definitely very not round.

I've got it identified so don't worry about attributing it. It's 1988 Charlton PC-6D, and 2010 Coins of Canada 223, but it doesn't have a Breton number in my book.
Coins and Canada seem to have this token: http://www.coinsandcanada.com/token...-1857&id=120

I wonder if this could be graded and still has any value except for melt?

It's pretty big so it should have no problem being a conversation piece. Wonder what I can say about it? Maybe that I own one of the 1.5M ever minted?
By the way, looks like it was worn smooth even before it was squashed.

I've never got anything slabbed before so I don't think so, but when I do I hope the TPGs won't die laughing before they could slab it! Well, I paid them to give me a grade, you know.
