I didn't pop that one Dave ... someone else did. I found it at the annual Garden State Numismatic Association coin show last weekend here in Central Jersey. Yes, I know it is not silver. It was probably mixed in with a bunch of other strikes that were being scrapped and after being discovered that it was not silver was probably thrown into a junk box. If someone can use it, it would make a neat jewelry piece, lapel pin, or tie clasp if mounted in a bezel... or would compliment a display of silver strikes.
