First CS State Buckle (Alabama)

[XL-PRO PRO]

After 30 years of hunting I found my first state buckle.It's an Alabama map on tree egg shaped which I understand to be ultrarare in any condition.Sorry, no pics, but I'm taking it down to Lynchburg to show it to Dwayne at Lost & Found Relics and I'm sure he'll post some on his website!DBULL

Why is this not on Banner Yet

Write a bit more of a story, move your photo up to your original post (just click "Modify"), and I'll vote BANNER. This is more valuable of a find than anything currently on the banner EXCEPT for the gold shipwreck find. Do yourself a favor and contact Roland at Hallowed Ground Restorations. I'm sure he'd be excited to restore your plate. Take a look at the type of quality work he does (many before/after photos posted) at the following link. I don't want to see any of that edge flake off that plate. It is free to get an account and view the photos.

Cuz rarity don't equal purdy. (but it will get there, but probably later than sooner)

Another good question is why is it for sale a few days after being dug? That is a killer, rare relic.

Why would you sell a relic that rare right after you dug it? My relics are too priceless to me because of the time and research I have in them. It's a find of a lifetime.

Great addition to your relic collection!

I did some research into having this buckle restored.Although the price sounds very reasonable,I would wind up with a relic that would be 60% original.Wouldn't thais destroy the value of this very rare plate?I have also considered placing it in a case next to repro for display purposes.Thanks DBULL

Congrats on an awesome plate...I can only dream about finding something like this one day.

I did see it was for sale and although I don't sell my finds I don't have a problem with anyone selling what they own. Some people don't need the money but others it would make a big difference to them. Also some people would rather see someone that would appreciate the item more have it in their collection. If you do sell it I hope you get top dollar.

My banner vote is in.
