Amazing coins aren't they? Congrats on yours looks to be in nice shape too! What is that silverish looking item you have in the one picture?
Thanks! Yeah, I thought it was in darn nice shape too.
The silver thing is very thin and has clips on the back that looked to be worn on a hat, or clothing. The initials are C.C.J. I found a suspender clip on the same property in the late winter with the exact same initials on it. This farm house is on the pa historical maps of 1876. Was on the map as J Johnson. The train tracks that go through the area are literally a stones throw from where I found both initialed pieces. The RR was completed in the late 1860's. Here are closer pics of front and back. Any ideas? This was down the full depth of the pointer! Barely detectable in all metal mode.View attachment 1480949View attachment 1480952
Congrats on that $0.02 piece. It's in wonderful shape and it's a great year and you can still read the we on the motto which is rare. A bit of trivia that is the first United States coin ever to use that In God We Trust motto
