Extreme corrosion on an unstruck planchette of some sort.

    My guess would be chemical attack.

    Corrosion certainly, almost as if it were kept on a car battery (as they did with cents years ago). It does look as if it had rims in the last picture....Cheers, RickO

    That coin looks like a crime scene! I wonder if it was used to improve conductivity? Peace Roy

    Corroded scrap metal.

    Yes, corroded SCRAP metal. Possibly a round punch out from a metal electrical box, used in most construction (especially residential), very common. Unlikely to be numismatic in nature.

    Not a planchet.

    Does a magnet stick to it?

    I was told it came from the same place as this, that's the only reason I thought it may be numismatic be in nature. But punch out sounds like the best guess.

  • McsmoochMcsmooch Posts: 40 ✭

    Checked it with a magnet and it stuck.
