    I'll second that time frame and it was a civilian button if that is what you are asking................. Reference books are the source of identity..........
    "The mantra has always been don't clean a (copper) coin or it will lose value.
    For undug coins this is true.  For dug coins this is untrue.
    The value will increase with judicious cleaning."
