Seated Silver and Civil War Relics

[BuckleBoy]

Hello All,

Sharing some recent finds and videos with you!






Got a HUGE shooter marble from the civil war era with hand painted designs:

Dug this mystery item with an eagle clutching a key and a flag. Perhaps a letter “S.” No clue. Hat pin? Cap badge? Lapel pin?

My wife dug a Cordeviolle & Lacroix clothing button with a fascinating story to tell (see the video!), dating from c.1832-1849! Only example known.

I got a piece of a fleam (bleeder!!) 😜

A counterfeit seated coin!

An 1852 large cent which cleaned up beautifully in the video:

And a broken U.S. Civil War bit boss!

Of course there were many other fascinating finds too.

Happy Mardi Gras!

Hey Buck, nice hunt! Nice counterfeit dime, I hadn’t seen one of those before

Seems like the seateds aren’t too common compared to earlier issues but counterfeiting was a Huge problem before the civil war. It’s why the U.S. secret service was founded 💥
