I come from a long line of old dead people. Some were "Being of sound, mind I spent my money while I was alive" types. Some were Scottish. and German & Irish & English & Railroaders & Natives to all kinds of places. It has been discovered by the thinning family tree that some of the nonperishable stuff trickling down the inevitable hourglass of time is.......lots of old stuff. Tokens/trinkets/coinage/deeds/past due taxes on stuff no longer owned and even chaff used for Christmas Tree decorations from WWII still exist. My mistake was saying something like "Some of this stuff may appreciate, like the old currency." So now I must figure out what it is/has been/may be. So to begin my "Wheats from the Chaff" adventure I turned here. Anybody know what this is? About 34mm of it left and it seems to have had a reeded edge.
