Finally got permission to do this 1800s homesite in my town in northern NJ that I have been DYING to do for the past like 3 years. and boy was it worth the wait!
Probably my best hunt to date, I spent about 7 hours yesterday on my day off..and heres what I found
So the Connecticut penny I can't seem to find in my red book , I have found 3 or 4 before none were like this one. The figure on the reverse is completely surrounded by a wreath and her arm sticking out is a little bit longer than I see on the other varieties I found, the bust on the obverse is facing left..any help in identifying it would be great..I may have just missed it in my searches but I figure it must be somewhat rare since I still have yet to find it. Keep in mind that i hardly clean any of my coins, mostly because I don't have a great method to do so..oh and my camera phone is horrible!
As far as the gold ring I'm pretty sure I identified the marking as being J.R Wild and Son a company out of Brooklyn turn of the century if someone has more info that would be great . The queen victoria dime is pretty beat up Im sure it doesn't look like much. and I will post a link below for the token if anyone wants to see more info on it. Also is that a flat button in the first picture? not 100 percent sure. Either way I think I had a pretty good hunt! Thanks for looking and commenting!! HH
