Took a road trip to Vermont with ?yerdigginit ? Brian Yerdon and dug this 1789 George Washington era button research says it?s extremely rare. Over the moon with this find
!!!!
As others have mentioned, you got it all with that find - rarity, spetacular condition, and eye appeal. I'm sure it offers up a lot of motivation for learning all you can about that early patriotic button. Please follow up with any estimate of value, which I'm curious to hear. I know the snake and star buttons go for surprisingly more $$$ than I would have ever thought, though I don't sell my finds. Congrats on a beauty of a find.
