    Artillery Button, LC, Seated, V nickel

    After work yesterday and this morning I was able to get in some

    The haul- 1820s-30s Artillery button with loads of color on back. Beat up 1876 dime, best part is the date. 1888 large Canadian cent and a 1911 V nickel. Thanks and I hope you're all having a great weekend!

    Great finds in my book! I love the button. We don't find many 1 piece ones down here. The seated is mint compared to one I found. If you hold it just right you can barely make out the outline of Lady Liberty.

    Congrats on the nice set of finds Drew, especially the early military button! Funny, my recent 1865 IH was in similar condition to your seated dime - the date was the only good part of the coin!
