Question
A friend of mine found this and we were curious if it's real or some kind of game piece? Thanks for your time!

Hi Gretchen, if it is genuine it will be worth hundreds of dollars or more. I've never seen or heard of an error like this making it to the public!
You might take it by a local coin shop for a first hand opinion: http://find.mapmuse.com/interest/coin_dealers .
Error value depends on date, type and extent of the error as well as amount of folds or wear and collector demand.
