Post something unusual!
Here is something strange:
This is a very rare Civil war token that is struck on a bi-metallic planchet. But unlike pieces of the early 20th century, where the center of the token would be a different metal than the portion that surrounds it, this is somehow copper on one side and brass on the other! It is certified as such by PCGS and has its own designation.

Some kind of over strike test token.

E.K. Purdy was a gunmaker in Schoolcraft MI. Not sure what this is though.

Too much time in the oven.
It appears to be a flattened 1851 braided hair cent

I say bogus
This is a version of the old Egyptian Magic Coin token.
However I like to think that it is a German token commemorating a 1936 German archaeological expedition to Egypt.

Something doesn't look right here.

Wow, they made Barber's and Walker's in 1913!
