Sterling Silver Coin?

I’m looking for any help with a coin my mother-in-law found in a 1940s player piano. It says sterling silver on the coin. It has a pigs head on one side and a pigs butt on the other. No date. A coin dealer offered her fifty for the coin but didn’t know what it was. So I think he had never seen something like it and thought it could be worth alot more. She is not looking to sell it, just wants more info.
Any web sites would be greatly apreaciated. Thanks

First off, it is not a coin. It is a token or medal. It sounds like an item used for flipping. As to why it is .925 silver (sterling ) is beyond me. You would think there would be more on it than a head and tail. Most silver items like that, have a company name or engraver of the die. It maybe abbreviated and very small and could be on the outside rim. There are lots of this type item around and as far as I know, no book has been put out on them. You could try the token and medal society. I think you can get their address from a Google or Yahoo search. It seems, over the years going to flea markets, I may have seen what you have or some thing like it, but the value was far from $50.00. With no price guide to use, it is who wants it and what they will pay. I doubt you will ever get much info on it, for it is considered a maverick token. That is, a token with no name on it, or city, or who made it. They are almost impossible to track down. I spent months tracking down an education medal from 1893 and it had all kinds of info on it. The problem was it was from 1893. Good luck on your search, try all the token web sites you can get to.
