This perforated American half dime was recovered in 2006 by ASI from the surface of the Lemery site in Milton, Ontario during a Stage 2 assessment. It is included among several other diagnostic artifacts like earthenware and porcelain sherds which help determine that the portion of the site where they were discovered dates to the mid-nineteenth century. The area is associated with the homestead of Alex Lemery, a tenant of Andrew Biggar, who farmed the site between 1843 and 1848. Pierced silver coins were often worn as protective charms by 18th or 19th century Blacks.
