Counterfeit Charles III real or maybe just a button

toasted · Oct 28, 2017

Either way one of my favorite finds in a while. Back is toasted but can kinda see where a shank may have been. Also found a few roundballs and some flat buttons. Fields surround a 1781 house

Looks to be the size of a 2 reales, so I'd say it likely is a period counterfeit. I've seen and owned some brass ones.

It looks very much like the button in post #3 and I see where the shank was. Only thing is mine measures 20mm while the button in post 3 is supposedly 16mm

Do you think it could be like this one? It indicates it was found by Don in SJ who is a member here but I couldn't find the thread he originally posted about it.

Great find. I like those pillar buttons a lot. Only have 2.

Thought I recognized a couple of those 1744 buttons in the link provided by Mackaydon. Sure enough, theyre mine (GWWJR). LOL

Congratulations for those pillar buttons, first of all permit me keep those images. I could add size and weight if you let us know. Also could you confirm if they are pewter or bronze??

About #BOT235 is the only I know with three or two pieces.
