1870s civil war veterans 60 acre farmstead finds

Had a good day yesterday. I had hunted the site a few times before. This time I went back further in the field and was pleasantly surprised by two large cents and a civil war cuff button. Life is good.

Not sure but it looks like an 1839 silly head large cent

Congrats on the CW Eagle Button find, those US LC's are beautiful looking coins.
The only LC I've ever found was holed as well, I think 'holed' coins are much more personal finds.

I always wondered why a hole was punched in a One Cent. I can see Silver coins having holes. Found a few myself. No doubt used as jewelry sometimes. Was it a way to hold coins together when pockets were not common? So was One Cent a lot of dough to someone! I have two US One Cent brothel coins and both have holes. I think the Madam was careful I guess.

It is a and was a cheap medallion . A lot was given to family members Silver was A LOT more money

Great saves! Every holed coin I’ve dug has a punched hole, some from a square nail. The hole on that coin actually looks drilled. I like that you kept going back and a found an area further away with some nice coins. I’ve got an old farm with lots of acreage that I can’t seem to find the goodies. You’ve motivated me to get back out and search a little more. Nice work.
