I went out detecting today where I found two large cents in the last two days. I found this round disk, I think it might be made of lead because it is pretty easy to bend a little. When I got it home I noticed it has letter and or numbers on it and a raised edge. Is this possibly a period counterfeit? ImageUploadedByTapatalk1441221489.992047.webp
Thanks for looking!
 
That's why people used to bite the coins they received in transactions, lead is soft and their teeth would sink into it, and expose it as a counterfeit coin.
