Flat buttons
decorative 2 peice cuff
tear drop rosette
Decorative spoon handle
OLD spigot/barrel tap

Nice Finds.

I found a 1864L in Fairfax VA a few years back and it has the same green patina. Beaut!

Your indian looks to be in good condition.

a key date refers to a date of a given coin series or set that is harder to obtain than other dates in the series.
