The reverse of that h'penny looks to be in good shape. What does the obverse look like? I'd like to find one that old in that good shape. I have never heard of a button cover so I'm interested in seeing it IDd too. It's quite ornate.

Now I know about the button cover! Thanks. I didn't think of use on shoes and couldn't picture one on clothes.
