Hey guys, been alongggggg time. I went to a private house today n the weather was great. Grabbed a 1929 merc, a few wheats n alot of clad. Also found a tootsie toy. But the big find of the day was these 3 little heavy coins. All 3 say QUAKER on them. 2 of them are identical but the 3rd is diff. Im kinda wondering if these were coins used by the quakers or if im overthinkin this. I found all 3 of these in the exact same 2 foot area. I have yet to clean them off with water until i find out what they are for sure. If ANYONE knows please comment. I have never ever seen anything like these so mayb someone out here has!!! Thanks Guys Greg ps. im super excited!!!

They're not coins, they're bale seals.

Nice hunt. From what I hear those are lead seals for sacks.

Would they have been stamped on both sides?

Nice Seals.

I'm Thinking "Quaker state" not Oats
But Bales of Oats make more sense.

Good to see your Hunting again too

I live very close to an international US/CAN train station and tracks, and I find a multitude of those lead bale seals. I'm sure there are collectors of those, and probably endless varieties. It looks like you had a fun day, nice Merc...
