It's copper, but is it a Copper?
A beautiful sunny day in Western PA, perfect for being in the woods at a 19th century homesite. First signal of the day, and the only good one, was this rather large copper disk. It's about the size of a half dollar, and pretty thin; there are tell-tale green spots, indicating copper, and I'm looking very closely for any identifying marks but so far I don't see any. I'm no Coppa expert, by any stretch; I have one Colonial copper to my credit and a handful of large cents. This has a diameter of 1 3/8 inches, if that helps. If it's not a Copper, given the age of the place, I can't imagine what else it might be (unless token). Thanks for looking and any input you might be able to provide.
