I hope this post has pictures!
Found this in a brinks box. Not in my Red Book. Any idea what I have found?

Thank you. I did not weigh it, but it is the same size as a one cent piece.

I'm pretty sure they use the same planchets for striking these that they use for cents. An interesting find, but unfortunately, they don't really have any value (beyond their modest metal content).

I do appreciate the responses. This forum continues to amaze me! I will keep my eyes open for the Denver mint one!

I found a similar token a few months back. I checked ebay's previous sales and found they really don't have any resale value.

I found a Denver one in one of the first boxes I sorted. Kept it as a cool find, but not really "worth" much.

Hey it's still a very cool find. I've been through 100's of boxes and have never found one. Still exciting to find something new and different. It keeps the thrill going just knowing that you DON'T know what's in the next bag, roll, or box!

It's a freakin' treasure hunt!
