Default Another Great Hunt and Need ID

Got back out to my site I have been hunting this morning. Pulled a 1945 wheat, a token(WVM Good for One Fare), and half of what appears to be some type of coin. I can't pull any details off the piece of coin? but the edges seem to be reeded. You probably can't see that in the pic but can feel it when handling the coin?. It is around 35mm and this piece weighs in at 4 grams. Any help with the token and the piece is greatly appreciated. Happy Hunting All!!

I forgot to add that the piece is copper.

No idea, but that token is very cool! I hope you get an ID on the coin. Congrats on finding it, Beale.

Nice finds again Chief, but what's up with these split coins? You're not using an axe to dig with are you?

It is starting to look like I am using an axe, isn't it? But no, It comes from too many years in a field and too many hits from the plow blades.
