I think I see the fancy "R" of an "RH" token minted by businessman Richard Hurd in Montreal and dated 1814.

Thanks. I looked at that but the script is more centered and this one has the script closer to the edge.

Good IDING 👍

I don't see it as this as l mentioned the script is closer to the edge and not centered

 

[The Rebel]

My buddy thinks it might be this but the script is still not to the edge.

Will do. Yes, dug in CT.

It's about 1", weight is unknown, but I'd say probably the same as any US Copper or KGI, II or III. Dug in CT.

Thank you! An inch is about 25-26mm which would be a little small. I think that would rule out the Anglesey token b/c those are good sized at 28mm+ and usually a heavier weight than the typical copper.

I'll add too that those tokens also usually have edge lettering. Is there any lettering on the edge of this coin?

My bad eyes...
I can't figure out the squiggly side, but I think I may see part of the bottom of a bell on the other side...
... or I'm just seeing things. 🤓

I don't think so but will check with my buddy.

Bell or neckline

Bell or neckline

That's what I thought at first, but after looking at dozens of pics of bells & busts on coins, it looked more like the bottom edge of a bell. YMMV.

I won’t disagree….my first guess was neckline, but probably am wrong…..short answer, yes there is/was something on that side.

if we could get a non blurry photo of the one side that might really help
