Found this deep in a Curbstrip. Anyone recognize it? Greek alphabet letters on it maybe?

Looks like 100-150 year old copper patina to me.
Perhaps it could be a lid from an old makeup compact type of case?

I really have no idea. I agree that it looks old. I see a wreath and some lettering. I thought some looked like Greek letters.
 
Four of the letters are OMEGA-MU-OMICRON-LAMBDA....Cant make out any of the others...Definitely Greek
 
I think it's copper. Toned like a big copper penny if i remember right. What's the best way for me to test it's makeup?
 
Try doing a rub of the face so we can see the rest of the lettering and wreath.
 
A small scratch maybe on it's side might tell us if it's copper or brass by the color.

Very interesting.

Keep us posted!! :yes:

Charcoal rub, not scrub the patina off.

The rubbing was a complete failure. It's bent a little bit and hard to hold level. I did put a light coating of olive oil on it. Check these pictures out.

Found it! It is a "magicians token" handed out by the Fays (a husband/wife seance team). I'll see if I can attach the image.

Awesome ID. Do you know any more about it? Age etc..? I wonder if it was two pieces? I may just have one side of it. Thanks so much. Now I can stop thinking about what the hell it is!
