Wow, that's amazing! I wonder what a dug specimen would sell for? Something to hope for the next time I dig a coat button!

I seen that shortly after it sold and sent it to Ironhorse saying... anyone who digs one of those now is going to be pretty happy that sale is on record. The opening value of 20k apparently was ballpark for that button in the past and going in, and then I guess they decided to play ball in an entirely different universe.

Killer button!

There was one dug button part of the same Frent collection that went for $15,000....



Don't know what this baby would be worth in dug condition....



Probably still a lot!

There has to be one sitting in a field or out at a Cellar Hole somewhere!
