1775 coin, charleston servant plate, update: Slave Tag! restored pics

[cdiver]

Gave metal detecting another shot after finding a big flat button in the woods near my house. Found this coin that I think says 1775. After messing up the first button I found cleaning it I learned my lesson about taking care of the stuff i find so I gave the coin a hot peroxide treatment but it didn't clean up much. any other suggestions how to restore it? The picture is after the peroxide treatment i read about here.

Need help identifying a silver tooth shaped object with a X carved in it. Also Found a real old lock, a plate that says servant, a stirrup and concave button.

What kind of coin is it and is it worth anything?

Keep in mind that yours says "servant" which is more common...

And in the bent condition--even if straightened professionally it could bring much less...but it is most Certainly a Valuable find. One that very, Very few detectorists will ever make.
