. Today I found an interesting coin/token it is zinc and has the words uncirculated denver with a large d in the center, and on the other side it says treasury united states mint, with a scale a masons/carpenters square with 13 stars and a key at the bottom. A really strange find. Does anyone know if this a test coin or what it might be? Also found a 1881 indian head ,and a 1907 indian head full liberty.

I think this is a token found in uncirculated mint sets. There are also Philly ones. Nice Find, but don't quit your job because of it!

I actually found a coin like this last week.

The only difference is mine is zinc (you'd think that since the Masons control the US that they would have known to use copper...)

Pictures?

found one myself last week. Was wondering what it was. Maybe I should send it to the Gates family

These are US Mint set tokens, put into sets from 1984-1999.
