Broken lawnmower blade?

WTH?

Is that an axe head?

No, but i've seen things on this forum and thought, WTF? ... And then asked what it is.

My guess is someone tried to pass it off as a bar of silver, it got cut open and is now worth half as much.

Coin blank metal?

My best guess is that this is scrap from a clad planchet manufacturing process. It looks like it is a section of 'edge trimming' from a much wider sheet. You can see the nickel metal, if that is what it is, wraps around the rounded side but not the sharply cut side.

Looks like part of an electrical busbar.

You're right, it does.

WTH, I'll buy it DMWJR. Buck-fitty?

It is a clad quarter ingot ... before it gets flattened --- at least a cut off piece of one. Pretty cool, eh?

Very cool!

If you don't mind me asking how much does something like that cost?

Unless you are deep into exonumia.. nothing... because you would not buy it. I can speak with authority on this. Cheers, RickO
