is this an error coin or a token and how did it split? im trying to find out some information about what this is. i would appreciate any ideas or suggestions where to find more info. thanks.
Well, it is not a coin. I am inclined to think it may have been an automotive adornment of some sort. It began it's life as two pieces and appears it was adhered together with epoxy or something.
when i found it it was connected at the top like a clam shell. you can see the notch and they fit back together seamlessly.
Maybe something similar to an opium coin. Just a wild guess. Edit-but I like @Danomite explanation best.
It’s appears to be an Indian Motorcycle emblem. Probably from an accessory. The other piece looks like an electrical box knockout (slug).
It is probably part of a Indian motorcycle advertising piece or maybe part of a old Pontiac Chief car advertising piece. I have one of the Pontiac Chief pieces and is really awesome.
