I'm a Butter and Egg Man

[mattgaudian]

Had probably my best water hunt ever. Found 5 silver dimes (2 barbers 3 Mercs). Found my 2nd Walking Liberty of the year(1923). Found my oldest coin I've ever found a 1864 Indian head. A Chinese coin. 2 silver rings. And a token for a 1925 play The Butter an Egg Man. My buddy found one of the counterfeit Morgan dollars I've been finding

Very nice love the Indian Head. I have noticed that the only Indian heads I have ever seen that are holed are from the Civil War years. It makes me wonder if they were not worn as some sort of remembrance.

Our area wasn't settled until about 10 years after the civil war by civil war veterans so it would make sense that it might be worn in remembrance

In my opinion that makes it a civil war Relic I found an 1863 with a hole in it in southwestern Pennsylvania about 10 feet away from 4 matching Civil War era general service buttons. The buttons were all in the same hole more or less a 2 foot square area anyway which tells me it was a discarded coat. I have heard stories about Civil War soldiers sewing money that they took from the enemy that they killed inside of their coats. This is a subject that there is much debate about but I believe it considering the way I found my buttons and coin not to mention Gettysburg occurred in 1863 not far from the location.

In any case I believe what you have there is more than just a coin congratulations

Why else would a penny from that time be holed, even then it wasn't worth big money.
Very nice water hunt, I'd pound the heck out of that area!

Terrific finds, the title of your post caught my eye. at the beginning of a food service career in 1970s, the old-timers would refer to breakfast Cooks (who occupied the bottom Rung of the ladder) derisively as 'butter and egg men'. Surely this plays title was at the root of that. had forgotten all about it till I saw your post, now this old-timer is reminiscing about the many wonderful people I thought of as 'old, during my youth.
Don't get any older than you are right now. :laughing7

I'm going in to your earlier post now to check out these counterfeit dollars wondering if they're the micro o series, or something else. thanks for your posting, and continued success to you!
two walkers in a year? I found my first last week or so took me 6 years Plus.congrats !!

 

[steelheadwill]

Just looked at your cft dollar posts they are not the micro o's as these deceived Top Notch experts until recently being silver and correct weight. I find many counterfeits of an earlier era mostly George two half pennies in lead and pewter alloys, I personally I am much happier finding counterfeits then genuines as they we're not generally produced in the numbers that real coins and possess an expression of Criminal Intent. I've discovered a certain type of site where they can be found in most cases
