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

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.
 

Great info and a sweet find!
 

Way cool! What a character that Wilkes :laughing7:
 

Awesome find Coop ! Congrats ! It would be pretty cool if you could know the story of how it got to be were you found it.
 

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,
Pete,:hello:

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!
 

What a great find! Congratulations on that one!
 

Wow coop! You have done it again. Another truly amazing find.
 

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.
