✅ SOLVED A Very Bad Counterfeit?

[romeo-1]

I found this small lead disk this evening...just a little bigger than a quarter. Didn't think much of it but when I zoomed in I noticed backwards lettering in the centre. Can't quite make out the words exactly...any thoughts?

looks like someone tried to press a coin into it.... can you make out the rest of the lettering? Looks like "cents" and something else

That's about all I can make out right now. I need to get some better pics during the light of day tomorrow...

looks pretty thick for an attempt at a counterfeit.

Is it Lead ?

Is this a Hole ?



although it appears to Large & Round for Ones I've seen in the past.


Could it be a Lead seal ?

Yep, pretty thick, lead and no hole...

I thought lead seal as well but your reversed pic gives it a little more clarity. Maybe a Canadian silver impression?

My crappy Paint skills not withstanding...I'd say it's a 1901 Canadian 10 Cent. I even found a beaded edge on the other side of the disk. I'll confirm it when I get home this evening with an actual Vickie 10 Cent but I think this is solved.
