Happy to share & Thanks for the Like(s) VP & Jim, I Just got 1 or 2 more but have a few being shipped still One is a upper end button that I've been looking for at a reasonable price for years it normally sells for $140.00 or a bit more however I won it on auction for under $30 (still about the most I've paid for 1 button) A NOV.15,1969 GIs & VETS for PEACE in VIETNAM, I will post that and the others in a week or two and add them to my album that has about 60 pinback buttons (feel free to check them out all are from the Vietnam era)

Congrats on your new acquisition, $140. Isn't a lot to pay for a hard to get coin,, so why not a scarce button. $30 is even better.

Thanks for the like(s) $140.00 isn't too bad for that button about $400.00 is the highest I've seen for a Vietnam pin however some political buttons go for several thousand and one (1920 Cox - Roosevelt {FDR}) last sold for $31,500 and has a $100,000 reward offered for a new example there are only 6 known to still be around out of the 50 made.
Like the Seger quote I OFTEN WISH I DIDN'T KNOW NOW ,,, WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW THEN life seemed easy when it was in black and white then technicolor comes along and poof confusion sets in.
Peace

Just in, the button I had been hunting for Nov.15,1969 GIs & Vets for PEACE March on Washington to bring ALL the GIs HOME, as shown on the other to photos the curl (edge) reads:
Send contributions to: Vets for Peace 874 B Way, Room 504, NYC 10003

Nov 15 1969 S.F. CA & Washington D.C. Anti-Vietnam War Demonstration
Held the second Nationwide Moratorium against the War in Viet Nam,
(The first Moratorium was held on October 15, 1969)
in Washington DC. Over 1/2 million (500,000) people participated.
The rally featured speeches by antiwar politicians, including Eugene
McCarthy(D), George McGovern(D) and Charles Goodell(R). It also included
performances by Peter, Paul and Mary, Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger, who
led the crowd in the singing of John Lennon’s “Give Peace a Chance.” His
voice above the crowd, Seeger interspersed phrases like, "Are you
listening, Nixon?", "Are you listening, Agnew?", "Are you listening,
Pentagon?" As part of aworld wide Vietnam war moratorium, the San
Francisco Moratorium Peace March occurred on November 15, 1969. Large
demonstrations occurred around the country and the world including
500,000 in Washington, D.C. on that day.
President Richard Nixon said about the march, "Now, I understand that
there has been, and continues to be, opposition to the war in Vietnam on
the campuses and also in the nation. As far as this kind of activity is
concerned, we expect it; however under no circumstances will I be affected whatever by it."
