1600-1720 Spectacle Buckle with Trefoil

[pax_in_ma]

Dug in an eastern Massachusetts colonial field. A week before that I got dateless Draped Bust Largie in the same field. Very little details out of the ground and attempt at cleaning it made it slug. :-( You can see on the picture to the right of the coin the tipical Draped Bust wreath. Little brushing took all the details away. :-(

Awesome dig! When I magnified the pic, I can still see some good detail.. I'd put a little mineral oil on it.

Yup, the coin is toast, but...I agree with Loco-Digger; try some oil on it. It will bring out some details.

Killer buckle. Love how crude it is.

I agree. It's a lot cruder than most spectacle buckles from a mold. Really cool
