I believe it was from a keychain. I received a similar one when I was a kid back in the 70's. Mine had Thomas Jefferson.....

Aquachigger: You have never seen one of these because you are out there digging shells, bullets by the ton, and half dollars by the bucket full. Come dig with me for a while and we can fix that shortcoming in your career. But then, you have to fix my shortcomings regarding the list above.

Nuggetnoggin found one of these at an old home site. One of the comments was that it was a George Washington commemorative token, minted at the date on the token, with the hole for attaching to a necklace chain. I believe this is correct as I found this same token, though in better shape, for sale on ebay for $18 with the same story.

The answer not 2 many print off ! They are very rare almost one of a kind because it was only going 2 be a few made for a sample but a young boy that was very new to working the flat press made a mistake. And printed 2 thousand are more was told 2 me and made a double head as well ! It was suppose to be on the back side two hands as a peace agreement! Well that boy was my great great great great grandfather and we have 14 would of been coins but because it was a mistake the drill all of them with a hole in the top so they wouldn't waste them and sold them for babies that were teething!! Back in those days they put usually a dime in a baby mouth to bring their teeth in!! If you have one of these the mint value starts at 2000.00 on up .
