    I did not know where to post this since there's not a specfic area for this topic. I have know idea what this is ,could this be a token of some klind.? There's no denomination on this specimen I found it in a draw at my uncles it's most have been in there for forty years or so. The alloy just looks pure metal not like other tokens / i know it;s not a coin there's no reeding and i like said no denomination no mottos etc etc. I would like if somebody would give feedback on it and tell what the heck it is . I would appreciate it Thank you

    It looks like a cast replica of one of the numerous pieces made in the early 1790's to honor Washington. This one has very plump letters/numerals and poor details on the devices, plus very rough fields suggesting it's a modern copy. There is a whole section on these interesting pieces in the Red Book. No real value, numismatically speaking. Sorry!

    Yep, very bad copy of the Washington Eagle with stars piece. It's on page 77 of my 2006 Redbook.
