Another Buffalo, wheats and a ..... Pin:huh:thinkingabout:

[cdv]

Weather was great today but I think I have this beach cleaned up pretty good. I really had to work to get the older stuff today. Another dated Buffalo Nickel, two more wheats and some clad and the first find of the day, I thought I had a clad half dollar due to the size, I couldn't tell since it was frozen and I had to hold it in my hand to melt the water off of it. Turned out to be a pin that was pressed, it must be made of copper since it has the green corrosion on it. I has the following markings Elizabeth II Dei Gratia Regina and it appears this was at one time also on coins.... any help with figuring out it is/was and dating it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the replies all..... the medal/broach/pin is interesting. There is no date on it and my first thoughts on it was that it was a pressed penny but then I thought they would have had to use a copper disc the size of a large cent to do it since the finished size is between a quarter and half. I have yet to find anything like it on the net via Google.

Let me know if you come up with anything.
