1788 CT copper and a solid silver flower design button

[Don in SJ]

Went back to a site that in 2011 produced two NJ coppers and a decent KGIII Halfpenny. I have pounded this site quite a bit so I was pleasantly surprised to squeeze out a few more relics and one more State Copper. The CT is sort of good news bads news, although the bad is not really bad. The coin had a lot of detail left, kind of surprised when you compare it with the before cleaning photo, the not so good news is , almost all 1788 CT coppers are Scarce to very rare varieties, except the one I found today. But, I will take condition or rarity in this case....

Phenomenal restoration! Congrats from a midwesterner on some outstanding treasures! Does the button have any detail on its reverse? Just curious if you think the button was made from silver coinage?

M.16.3-N. WOW R-2 common. Only one in the whole bunch! Now that's a nice copper, it's just bad luck on that one. Only variety that is "Common" out of the 37. Detail is awesome though. Congrats.............Hogge
