Identify-This-Token-Or-Coin

I found this while metal detecting in Pennsylvania recently. Can't seem to find any info on it.

@Natrowan, first welcome to CCF. Second could you also please post a pic of the other side of this piece? Thx.

Added: look tantalizingly similar to a late 1700s Conder Token for the Palmer Mail Stagecoach company. Here is an example:

looks like a condor to me too. DO NOT CLEAN IT. It has more value with the original verdigris (toning).

It is definitely a Conder token and appears to be a 1797 half penny. Here's the reference:

Viewing the Middlesex section, it is at the bottom of page 55. Here are some screenshots:

According to D&H, this type is common among those. I can't say what that means about its overall rarity. I agree, though, to leave it alone.

After reading Spruett01's post, Would this piece considered Exonumia?

Conder tokens walk a line on either side of Exonumia -- they were not Royal circulating coin issues but they did have denominations and they definitely circulated as money.
