2 different sites have yielded 2 different coins. I think the toasted one is an Irish 1/2 penny, but I'm not sure. It's very thin, and slightly larger than the Barber Quarter. Maybe an Irish Farthing? Harp is struck off center to the left. Obverse and reverse are 270 degrees in rotation.(just like the 25-83A). At first I thought North Wales 1/2 penny but doesn't line up. We have found NO LESS than 30 buttons at this site. The other site yielded this Barber that I nicked with the shovel. OOPSIE! You'd think I would have learned by now! Any help on the "toastie" is welcome.

Thanks IP....Yes it was my brother. This token was found in the same area as the other one, about a 1/4 mile away. Then when I saw where the date was,(from your pics), I looked at it again, and actually saw the remnants of it. Nice ID. :thumbsup:

I have found several and that bust is so different than every other harp coin it jumps out at me, even in poor condition.
