very cool coop! and good job IP on the purpose this served!

 

[Iron Patch]

Would be great if you can find the rest, or maybe you already have? I've never seen a seal lead to a story like that, so very cool.

It's from a wax seal.

It sort of looks like it may have been from a seal, but if so wouldn't the incuse markings be a mirror image of those words??

Cool piece coop,just getting back home & on here I see a lot has went on.That's a neat piece looks like it would go in a type like the one IP posted or the one in my hand you can see how it would mount.
Take Care,

Wow, now that is one great piece of history! I'd bet that nothing like this will ever be recovered and posted on this forum again by anyone.

FANTASTIC piece!

Now that's a piece of history! Great find.

Wow, great piece.

I did some research and I believe it is a token. There are a few varieties listed. One is brass with the 45 on the reverse mad this one is listed in a catalogue but I could not access it. Search Wilkes an liberty 45 tokens. Good luck!

Now that's one cool seal, with providence.

It's would be cool to see a wax impression once it's cleaned up a bit.

It's a banner worthy find anyday.
