I'm unlikely to ever get such an old coin, as it would need to be an early import into a country that had no monetary system, so to me that is a great coin to add to your collection.

I always like coin weights & that one is in good condition as well!

You guys have such great history that goes back so far. The first European population of Oregon didn't start until 1846. Before that it was the stone age, and that overlaps white occupation, the last stone age man coming out of the mountains of N. California in 1911.

What are the two small items with two rivets and a hole shaped like a keyhole. Some sort of bag clasp?

Victorian corset clasps (although clasp is not the right word, it went on the back of the ladys corest & the string tighten the whale bone corset through those holes)

you are lucky to have such old coins, I could get a Potin from further South but they started in about 150BC max (as far as I remember)
