I've been puzzling over this pewter disc all evening. Carefully cleaning the dirt off with a toothpick and trying to figure out what it is. There was obviously a design and writing, but it was just couldn't put my finger on it until I rotated it just right and... BAM!
Figures; despite everything I've dug to date, capped bust coins have been eluding me and instead of digging a real half-dollar I dig a pewter counterfeit. Definitely a good chuckle and it looks like a contemporary fake which is cool. I was actually able to get a faint date off the obverse and it looks like 1828. It makes me wonder if they lost it, or realized it was a fake and chucked it.
There was a ton more at this site that I'm still cleaning and I'll post that stuff later, but I just had to upload this in the hopes that you would get a good laugh out of it too!
