I found this eagle pin (actually screws on its back). The crown looks like it had blue paint on it and the feet arent holding anythign I can see.
Anyone know what it might be from?

Also found these blank copper disks (one the other day) They are mad of copper and the size of a quarter. Thought they might be knock-outs from something, but the edges are smooth like a penny. I cleaned one to see if there was anything on it, but they are flat. any Ideas what they might be from?

As always - Thank you for the help.
 

I knew someone that knew someone that used to make those copper discs the size of quarters back in the late 70s.. We used them in soda machines, laundry, toll booths, pay phones and such. It would probably not be worth it today the price of copper and modern machines may kick them out. But it will probably work in a tool booth. That must be what you have.

Do you think the coppers could be token blanks?
