3 tokens, N J copper and a few buttons

[70monte68]

Went out Sunday morning to check a new spot. I left my house at 5:45am to get an early jump on the heat and here are the finds. I found three tokens. One is a Benjamin Franklin memorial token. The second is a token about our flag and the third is a token from Trenton N J (my third of this type). The N J is worn on the one side, but, you can clearly see the shield. Then two buttons.

I love finding tokens and a civil war era token, doesn't get better.

Congrats on the NJ Copper too, I found a Vermont copper myself earlier this year.

Thanks deer shed. There isn't a lot of civil war era stuff around me so to find something of that is a real treat.

Don, WTG on those tokens, not many every found and you got three plus a NJ. I looked at the shield side carefully and think it is a J reverse and most likely a 14 obverse, but that is just going on odds on that being the most common obverse found with a J reverse. So, if you can ever see more details I do believe as of now it is a 1786 Maris 14-J variety. Compare with the one on coinfacts..........1786 New Jersey Copper - Maris 14-J Don
