Draped Bust And A Cool Token

[deershed]

Got a new permission today, 1852 farm. It's been hit before but, we had nothing better.
We hit the yard finding some wheats, the oldest a 1919. Things were slow then I found a nice flat button, no shank. It was in good shape and I could see some writing on the back. I'll never know what it said, lost it again somewhere. Lol
Then I got a small 85 hit on the AT Pro thinking maybe old copper. Flipped a plug and had what looked like a large coin, too big to be an old copper. Wiped some dirt off and had a 1948 Good Luck token.
Not ten feet away got a 83 hit, thinking memorial this time. Flipped a plug and this time old copper, 1806 Draped Bust.
One of my better looking old coppers and I hit it with the shovel?
Not much else and with the heat and the bugs we called it a day.

An interesting token measuring 38mm round, bronze “Good Luck” token with a 1948 (?) red cent offset to the left of center. The obverse reads “Good Luck/is/75%/ The/right/attitude.” The reverse reads “Good Luck” and has “Youngstown Kitchens By Mullins” on the lower rim.
Here's one for sale for $97 !!

Yeah, never saw one before this one. Mine is a 1948-D

Thanks for the info.

Cool finds and both a worth a fair amount of money! Due to the nice details on the 1806 Draped Bust Large Cent, if it cleans up pretty nice, I could see it fetching a price well into the three figures.

Nice digs.

 

[treblehunter]

Great digs, I love them both, should be easy to back walk where you found the button. Laying on top it will ring like hells bells.
Congrats on some great finds!

Those are 2 outstanding finds. I never fret when someone states that the place has been hunted before. That usually means someone has cherry picked the site. Just grid-it and hit-it. I have yet to get skunked at sites that have been hit in the past. Congrats on the LC and that Good Luck coin.

Man that token is an unusual and very cool find, not to mention that coin, wow! Congrats. Sub

Great coin! I can easily see the fraction before cleaning

It's probably laying in the gravel driveway where we parked. Just before we quit I showed the owner what we found and I had the button then. We left 5 minutes later and then the button went missing.

Awesome LC & token, congrats!

I'm not sure how I missed this post. I went to your profile after wondering what old DS is up to....

Nice score. I would love to find a draped bust in that condition. Cheers
