I have found a few like this in Ontario, I would say its a blacksmiths token made from an old coin. Very common in early 19th C. Always a nice find :thumbsup:

Nice old coin. Anything from the 1700's is a fantastic find imo.

Rather than the regular British halfpennies, it appears to be of the Machin Mill's variety, minted for the States, or at that time, the colonies.
