I am curious to see if anyone can help me solve the mystery of this item I purchased on eBay a while back.
The seller did not know what is was, and I only bid on it because I thought it may be a Civil War button or coin.
It's about 7/8 of an inch wide, and the thickness varies from 2 mm to 3.5 mm. It appears to have the letters U S
on one side; the other side appears blank to me. I don't know the material it's made from, but it seems heavy for
it's size. It weighs 9.7 grams or .34 ounces. I'd like to think it was gold, but it's probably brass.
I've attached photos of the item. Hope someone can let me know what I have. Thanks!
