DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 08/28/2017 04:48 am That is unusual... First it looks like one side was attached to something, and the side with the eagle looks like it was enamelled or something and had this chipped off. The blue in the dotted circle makes it seem that way. Report this Post to the Staff
wldflwer73 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/28/2017 07:24 am I know.. I can't figure it out.. I was thinking it might be some sort of planchet? Report this Post to the Staff
wldflwer73 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 08/28/2017 07:26 am I was wandering if there had ever been a coin with that kind of eagle and those 13'stars together? Report this Post to the Staff
scstrawn Pillar of the Community United States 536 Posts	Posted 08/28/2017 08:30 am A real coin would likely have had some sort of lettering or at least a date, if made in the US. Depending on how big it is, it might have been encased in a button perhaps? Report this Post to the Staff
coaster Pillar of the Community Australia 1364 Posts	Posted 08/28/2017 08:48 am Might be a coin meter token similar to this http://www.ebay.ie/itm/USA-COIN-MET...AOSwezVWv8At but with an Indian head eagle instead? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16810 Posts	Posted 08/28/2017 8:44 pm The incuse-eagle-on-arrows design is coped from the gold half-eagle and quarter-eagle coins of 1908-1929. It is presumably a piece of "costume jewellery" (base-metal, not gold) intended to look gold-like by borrowing a design from a known gold coin. 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
