This one really has me stumped. It appears to be a NJ Copper ( see shield in pic ). It was holed to attach to something. It has a bevel cut or filed into it. I have found two of these over the years in separate places. What do you think ?

Looks like it was used as a strike plate for a small latch?

Think it has to be made from a coin because it seems too crude to have been produced that way. Sure makes for an interesting relic.
