I'd say it's a homemade fishing lure

What do you think it is?
Gotta be worth a lot to a fish lure collector.

    I think you nail it to the wall to hang pots and pans on.

    For some reason I picture some wacko ending up with that as a nose ring.

    It can't be a fishing lure. Its not a Mercury dime.

    Way to heavy to be a lure, more in line as a slab runner, not shiny enuf to draw the type of fishies that I would use her for,that hook as useless as well.

    Dang. I've seen those before, but I forget what it is. I want to say 'belt buckle', but it's too small. I think it's a fastener of some kind, tho...

    The way it's hanging, it does seem like something used to fish, but that's probably not it.

    Mostly, I think it's a shameful, blasphemous use of a coin! image
    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

    Yellowstone National Park Rangers now check random camps for these.
