[QUOTE="ARguy, post: 834087, member: 16047"]Trying to find the poop on this one. My sense is that it may be a gaming token of some sort. However, its obverse is very close to that of several Civil War era sutler tokens. I don't remember the exact metrology, but it's smaller than a small cent and appears to be made of brass. As I remember it is a few grains heavier than a bronze small cent. There was a Commodore Bainbridge in the War of 1812. Could this be a medalet in his honor? A game piece for a military game? Thoughts?[/QUOTE]
