Honey hole gives up something strange !

[Tomwolf]

Found this and only this today at the honey hole. She’s dying slowly Anyway, it’s heavy, I think lead. About the size of a quarter. Maybe you can see the eagle holding a shield with the word cent at the top. I can’t make out anything on the other side. Can you ? Also it’s thicker than a quarter.
Any thoughts ???

It's very cool whatever it is. Let us know what you find out.

That's a Massachusetts Copper. Appears to be made of pewter, so I'm not certain it's authentic or not. Awesome find!

The Eagle side is the same as a Massachusetts copper.

The other side looks like someone on a surfboard to me...

Pretty close...

Wow. Good example of how perspective and orientation can impact what you see... I realize the original coin is
now sideways and can see the above image...

Yes, seems like a pot-metal material of play-money type coin :/

By the way it looks I would say you have a very cool counterfeit.

At least it is better than all the Chucky Cheese tokens I keep finding...
