Todays Silver Not All There

Went out to a vacant lot today for about an hour before the rain. Man, I knew that thing looked and felt silver. Wish I had the center!

That last one looks like a flattened brass Winchester shotgun shell.

Now that is a cool find JN. I've never seen a punched out coin like that. Someone's attempt at a coin ring I take it.
Congrats on the "J" ring too.

Looked at it again and you are exactly right. Thx!

Yep a crude made coin ring... Washington quarter I assume

Due to the irregularity of the cut line - I'm guessing this was drilled with a tiny hole and a jewelers saw blade was inserted and then the
interior was sawn out . Usually the outside edge is hammered rather wider than yours . Youtube has some videos on how to make these
rings ( two very different methods ).
