Haven't dug much lately ebut did find this and it's a good one !

I didnt even realize I had it until I started going through some coin buttons I dug on a very recent trip. Folks you best check your flatties real close and this is one reason why. I looked it up in Alberts and the RV is 125! It's listed as a political button and a rare one at that. I also looked on some sites and found one much rougher with no shank and it sold at auction for 750.00!! :blob7:

This is the second rare early button I've dug this year.

That flattie is in great shape, I found the same button years ago, and made the same statement to others, it pays to clean those plain faced flatties since there are some valuable, collectible buttons that have significant backmarks like the Jackson buttons.
