Brit. one penny, and 1813 eagle halfpenny token.

What I see is a very crude bird, maybe a chicken, with one massive claw.
 

Looks like something above the birs as well...strange.

Yep, at first glance of course I hoped military, but certainly didn't expect funky chicken.
 

If I found that button it would definitely be my new avatar ;D
 

Hmmmmmm?well? 1 leg chicken button.hmm .I will keep an eye out for it.may be its a tree on a hill?
 

To me it looks like the handle of a sword with an arm stretched longways across the coin with something in the hand
 

That's a pretty interesting one, if anyone can get to the bottom of it I'm sure you can. Does look like a crude chicken, although the head and tail look almost identical. Pretty cool regardless! :icon_thumright:
 

Hi, Iron Patch. This is off-topic but I keep forgetting to ask: In which state in USA or province in Canada is Dirtyville? Or is it instead a state of mind, lol? Mostly want to know which state or province produces your interesting finds, don't need to know the city if that's to be kept quiet.
Thanks! Andi
 

Interesting button indeed. The design throws me, but the button style sure resembles the "lottery buttons" from the Revolutionary War. They were French made buttons and as I understand it the faces were blank...but the style sure looks like them with the turret style shank.
 

That is an interesting pewter button. It would look great in my display case. ;D You are due to refill that Skunk Mobile gas tank. :laughing7: You have been driving it a lot lately. ;D :D Owned! :laughing9:

Kirk :hello:

That's funny IP...what you call slim pickings we call a harvest...Congrats and HH :icon_pirat:
 

Seen many similar images on Lead Tokens never a button, interesting shank as well. A nice addition I think, but I guess you know as much about it now as you ever will :thumbsup:
