Some more coin buttons?

[fyrffytr1]

These belong to my brother. He found them in MD many years ago. I know there has been discussion about these here but I don't remember what was said. Are they coins or not?

Not sure what kind of butons they are but they look pewter and look like the could be rev war period.

They came from the same site where he found the "MEB" button that was posted in an earlier thread. It is a very rare button.

Beautiful! They are buttons made in the image of the Spanish Pillar Dollar.

Buttons, yes. Since they are so small, they may be cufflinks. There have been both posted on this forum in the past. They are certainly 1700s in origin.
