Default Morgan dollar (not)

Yesterday I started my clad and junk tumble,and today when I came home from work. I went to the shop to pull my finds out of the tumbler and what a find, a lead morgan dollar. I remenber thrown a crusty dirty flat peace of lead in my tumbler awhile back. So I really don't were it came from. HH

Tumblers can be hard on soft objects. Was it in that shape to begin with?

It was all crusted over and I did not even gave it a thought what it was. Did not see any marks and thought it was just a flat peace of lead.
