jdsstrat Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 04/24/2025 9:39 pm I found this handcut (or so it appears to have been) piece of copper in a box of odds and ends coins, tokens, souvenirs and such. It is very thin, about .5 mm. Any ideas what it might be? Or perhaps the better question is what someone might have been getting it ready for? (FYI: for scale, that's a 4x4 square inch piece of paper it's resting on.) You'll notice a portion of it has been bent upward (or down depending...) As usual, thanks for all your feedback.
