Eagle Button and coin purse

[Lodge Scent]

It had been several years since I last found a Civil War uniform button, but I found 2 this month.

Looks to be a general service button. No back mark.

I got excited when I dug the remains of a coin purse, but no coins to be found.

Nice Eagle button! Not common without a back mark in my opinion.

Yes don't you hate that Jeff , I swear I've found about half a dozen coin purse clasps but not a single coin associated with them :needadrink:

Looks to have the shank intact too! Was this the same site as the last one? :clapping:

Congrats on finding 2 CW buttons in one month! Funny how things like that happen in our hobby.

I hear you Dan. I've found a few but none with coinage.

Different site Drew but only a 5 minute walk away. They were neighbors.
