Bottle Cap?

[RGINN]

I found this over by Leadville Co. It is slightly larger than a quarter and has the appearance of silver but ain't. The back side is just a reverse of the front with no manufacturer's marks. The front shows a hand holding up 4 aces. My idea is that it's the cap off of a bottle of booze. And it could be a really good quality booze, as I didn't turn up any others in the area. Then again, that's just my speculation. Any ideas? Muchas Gracias, ya'll.

How long are the "tabs" on the seal. I believe its either a seal for liquor see http://www.sha.org/bottle/closures.htm#Cork

or for actually a deck of cards but I would need to see the back, can you take a picture of the back?

Ok, here's a shot of the back and the front with a tape for measurment. I lean towards the whiskey bottle cap. I still think this might be a better quality hooch, as that's the only one I found after a lot of looking. Or maybe the miners up here weren't as big a drinkers as we think. Thanks ya'll.
