This was found in a batch of mixed U.S. coins. I’m guessing it was worn as a pin either during or after WW2.

    50+ years as a numismatist and I've never seen one of those before.

    Thanks for showing us something different and new.

    Probably a one-of-a-kind item made by some individual for their own use.

    I have a similar one on a small hanger meant to be worn as a pin. If I can locate it I'll post a photo.

    Yours could also have been a stick pin.

    The Cent looks to be dated 1931. I like the red, white and blue colored "V" on the obverse.

    I also think it was intended to be worn as a pin.
