    1820s Mass Militia Button/1780 Carlos III Half Reale

    Haven’t posted on here in a few years and figured I get back on! On a hunt 2 weeks ago I found this 1820’s Massachusetts Militia button as my first signal of the day and a beautiful 1780 Carlos III Half Reale as my last. Great permission!

    Thanks! I’ve been hoping to find a CW mass militia for awhile so that’s funny. The old ones are out there though! You’ll get one I’m sure
