If I had to guess I would say it was going to be used for some type of custom jewelry, but I am not sure. can I get some opinions from someone who is more knowledgeable about this coin or even someone that is experienced in custom jewelry.

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 06/27/2021 6:59 pm It appears like somebody was halfway done in making a coin ring, and gave up. Easy to make this piece, just hit the edge with the hammer over and over until it mushrooms over. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?
