1804 Draped Bust LC & Nice Assortment

Got out this evening for three hours after work with a friend to an older home we'd hit for about that much time Sunday.
Lots of history at this site- the British burned it in 1777, and I've been hoping to break into some Revolutionary War relics
there, but have yet to do so. Not that I'm complaining, though. Both days produced a fun assortment of early American through
late-1800's coins and relics, and I'm sure there's more to be found.
The highlight of today was an 1804 LC, which I'd pretty much crossed off the list of coins I would ever find.
Only 96,500 of them were minted, and I never seem to find the key date stuff.
I'm pleased as punch. It's been a slow year for me thus far, and this is a great way to kick off the fall hunting season.

i added another pic of the 1804 in the original post that might show the 1804 a little better.
it also shows what looks like a scratch from digging that i didn't see before.

I believe the scratch is pre existing on that Draped beauty ??? you are too experienced to screw up 200 year old coppers :) dawg 8)

nice site ! awesome coins & relics! whats that brass tag say?
 

Re: 1804 Draped Bust LC & Nice Assortment

Both large cents need some quality time with hot peroxide and toothpicks. I suspect the button is silver, and may have been contrapted from an early coin, but need more photos for clues.

Some good history here!
