10 cents for a train ride?

[ncsuwolf]

Had half hour after work and decided to hit a spot near the house. First was the button, couldn’t see a face when dug, assume it was only the back so dropped it in the general pocket of the pouch and kept moving. Few signals later was what everyone likes to hear…..high pitch, “round” and tight. Ended up with a 1857 seated dime in decent shape. The button back turned out to be a “the Richmond union passenger” button with RYCO in the center. Was an electric train/trolley service in Richmond Va from ~1880 - 1940. First I’ve ever found or seen, unfortunately it had a previous date with farm equipment. Backmark is scovill mfg co Waterbury. Few junk targets in the mix, but glad I took the 1/2 hr. Found near Richmond Va.
