1811 Classic Half Cent and BUTTONS! UPDATED PICS

Sniffy · Oct 1, 2010

SO here I go again. It's raining today worse than yesterday...which means no work. So once again I slip into the rainy woods....I always end back at this site....The ground being wet has helped ALOT! Anyways, heres 3 buttons. One large colonial button with nice design. A plain flat button with an eagle on the back with 7 stars ( military? ) and a London flat button with an enormous ripped shank. And last but surely not least...A KEY DATE HALF CENT!!!!!! 1811 WIDE date...sorry about the bad pictures...i'm in a bit of a rush...Wifes out and I"m alone with the kiddos, so not much time to play with hot peroxide....but this little baby's in good condition...pictures do no justice here....This site is a dream come true. Thanks for lookin.

Wow man, after looking at the value of that coin be VERY careful cleaning that one... given the blurry scan, not sure you should do much more to it :dontknow:

If not the best copper find of the year, very close

Be careful cleaning that sucker. Any 1811 has decent value to it but there is an unofficial restrike variety that has the reverse of an 1802 and is extremely rare.

I touched it up a bit but didnt' go overboard. I'd say this is now my favorite prized coin.
