My oldest coin to date. I'm happy with it. I also found this flat button with a spider on it. Anyone know how old it is or its origins? image.jpg image.jpg

Kinda creepy but very cool. The spider button may have been off a 19th century Halloween costume :laughing7:

I bet that button belonged to this guy - Dr. Arliss Loveless of the movie "Wild Wild West". :laughing7: Joking aside it is definitely interesting.
