new england collector Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 06/30/2015 11:19 am I've got no clue where to go with this... Found it in my basement and was told it's not a coin but it sure looks like one to me. It appears as if a quarter and nickel are blended into one and I've tried looking for markings but can't see any. It's the same size as a quarter (except for the thinner side it's a little bigger which is understandable) and on the top there's a circle the same size as a nickel. I'll post some pics to help. Any advice would be great, thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

First thing that came to mind, we used to find these at construction sites playing as kids, promptly jammed a few vending machines trying to use them as slugs. The little tab cutout on the edge is the give away as to what it is. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
