Almost soiled myself when I found this thing, didn't know what to make of it at first except that it was silver, had an eagle on it and a date of 1776.
It appears it is some bicentenial commerative. Nothing on the back, just a reverse image of the front.
The other thing is a "National safety council safe driving award Year 1". I'm guessing a vintage of late 40's to mid 50's.
Penny just for size comparison.
Pretty cool. Found these at my little strip. Sorry for the lousy pic, didn't feel like tinkering with the settings to get a decent shot. Let me try a quick scan see how that turns out .. yeah thats better I'll post them both.

It is 2 grams of .999 silver, probably minted in 1976 (bicentennial).
Still a VERY unusual find.
