coin or token??

[MEV]

Hello what is this? Thanks

Has to be a token. I wasn't able to find another example though. .

 

[martygene]

that's pretty darn cool... hope we find out what it is....

Definitely a token since there's no value indication on it. Very nice find.

That's an awsome find ! Never saw anything like that.

It's not US currency so has to be a token of some sort. Very cool.

That thing is neat I hope you find out what it is . sube

You know, MEV, the more I look at this thing, the more I think it looks like an old button.

I don't think a button would have a design on both sides with that detailed . sube

 

[MEV]

Thanks for your response , could it be a pin also?

Sube, that's what I used to think as well, until I was shown some pics of a big collection. Turns out lots of old buttons have intricate patterns on both sides.
It's more common than not. And the eagle/military theme was extremely popular.

I'm still leaning toward button...but I wouldn't bet any real money on it until I find a pic in a button reference.

Sure. Don't see why not.

You know it looks like a Coin on one side that has the eagle and Date and was changed on the other side with the Design

Is there any coin that looks that way on the side of the Eagle and the Date?

Button struck me as a possibility also. The circular area in the center of the reverse could have been the eyestud.
