This little coin/slug/spacer has me stumped. Dug it up from old 1800s school site. If you flatten the raised edges up all the way around, it would be the exact same size as a quarter. It has my predator phonix shovel's signature on one side now. It was about 6 inches down. Rang up in the 30s solid and once I had it out, it rings up at 41/42 on the legend.

It has raised edges just like a coin but flat on the edge circumstance. It has no markings, or at least none distinguishable. Well, here are the pics. One will be on top of a quarter and one laying flat beside a quarter. Then two surface pics.

If this ain't nothing, at least I got a good 1916 wheat also

Ok, this might make the first token make sense. I also found a typer token in the same field. The first coin may have been a copper blank for some other type of typer coin.

The coin below on the front says,
T.A. Hass. Newton, N.C.

The center piece is hard to read but it looks like,
Loridia Crow Watch but could be Florida Crow Watch. The F is either hard to see or not there.

On the back it says
Pat 5.15-25
Geo W Heene
Cleavland. O
