Thanks for looking everyone!
SWR said:Hum...I agree with the 'excellent' find, but do not classify this as an 'important find' in regards to numismatics. It is/was a fantasy coin from conception to manufacture. The actual use is elusive, and the true mystery.
Dano Sverige said:How many letter openers or bracelets would you snap a piece off,drill a hole in,and wear on a necklace? Granted as it's "quarter" size,feasibly it could have started out life dangling from a bracelet,but i'm more inclined to think it was either a necklace pendant,or made into one from a coin.
No need to bow Dano LOL. Just remember those who called it.Dano Sverige said:That wasn't sarcasm my friend.Just me bowing to the wealth of superior knowledge and expertise.
Interesting link IS. This coin is a bit different but has the same tone. I wonder if we have roots on the back?IronSpike said:The brass ring was added later as the Arkansas coin doesn't have a hole, but could still be from necklace or other jewelry.
Would never have thought of this possible origin. An early 1900's promotinal bicycle medal:

Very cool to have so much discussion end with the coin acually being named.
Can anyone fix the wide photo that's causing the page to be so wide?
