I've looked at the last website you posted, and it shows a very similar object relating to Pender. This one is half dollar size, but the hole in it seems very similar to the one in Bamanut's 1860 O silver dollar (if thats what it is). This similarity in shape, as well as the existence of multiple Pender related objects (of apparently different dimensions), makes me seriously suspect Bamanut's object.
You're right about one never being too old to learn. I hadn't seen any of these nefarious things before. But I can assure you that I've handled enough silver dollars to know if an object I held in my hand was the size of a silver dollar or not. My mistake in this case was in assuming the dimensions (Which I am now curious to know) and other characteristics of an object that I had only seen in a photo and hadn't held in my hand. Theres a lesson in that.
At any rate, thanks for the information. This has been very educational.
