Good evening Everyone
Short little hunt today and found what looks like maybe 25 ¢ token? But I just can’t convince myself. same thing both sides nothing else can be seen on either side . Thoughts ? Anyone maybe seen one similar ? I would expect something else on one of the sides other then 25 ¢ ? Thanks for any help

What is the diameter?

Mystery item

It’s pretty much the size of a modern quarter

Tool chit......? Or if it says 25 cent (My cell phone KB doesn't have a cent symbol, go figure) maybe someone's good luck charm......

May be a little too big for this, but it might be the center chit from a bi-metal trade token.

Thanks everyone defintley has 25 ¢ on both sides . Just seems odd that both sides have the same with nothing else on either side . Regardless happy to have it always a nice surprise when a token of some sort pops out

The bi-metal tokens had an outer ring that had all the pertinent information on it, while the center chit had the denomination.

Creskol thank you for the info
Very well could be . Half the fun is finding the treasure the other half the researching of the little treasure . Love the hobby
Take care

similar to a coat check token, the hole is purpose made

Looks like a generic 25 cent trade token that was on some ones keychain for a long time and wore off the bottom half.
Maybe a bit more light cleaning on it might show some detail to the bottom half.

Does it have a cent mark on it or just the # 25? Kinda looks like a key ring for a locker at first glance

I just posted this today and several on this site, as well as others, confirmed it’s a tool tag. Was used to check out tools a worker might be using so it would be properly returned.

This could also be a miners ID tag. I know that they had these as a form of signing in. I guess you could say it was a punch clock of sorts.
