How in the heck did this thing make it to Wi? It's aluminum, smaller than a dime, and was down around 3 or 4", so little more impressed with the F4 now!
Here is an article on these tax tokens, sound like a PITA:

It had a lot of black stains on it, looks better now, went through a series of chems to clean it, eventually got it looking like this with Xylol and a soft wire brush (figured not worth much in this condition anyways)
