Here are some more finds from this week from the street/sidewalk tearout I hit last weekend. A 1936 Merc, a semi-key and worn 1921D Merc and six wheat cents. Plus I also found a very large copper item which appears to be coin or token. It is very green and is 33mm in dia. and abt 2mm thick, any ideas? It is soaking now and I'll post pictures as I get 'er cleaned up.

Your doing better and better at these tear outs lately Darren! :yes: thumbsup01
Nice finds!
Congrats! :grin:
I'm not for sure of course. But I'm going to take a guess and say the mystery coin is a &quot:beerbuddy:ank of Upper Canada penny/ coin/ token <;)
:dontknow: Thats my guess lol I guess we'll have to wait and see... :->

Huge congrats on the 1921-D Mercury Dime, Darren! That is an awesome find! I have never found a 1921 Merc.

By golly, I think you're 100% correct, Tim! Good job on the ID!

Thanks guys! I am 99% sure the copper is The Bank of Upper Canada token that you have pictures above. I'll post more pictures sometime later, it's real toasted though.

Thanks Al, no sign of any, but they keep moving dirt around so it's hard to tell.
