1847 Large Cent and Warranted Rich Orange Button

[Wallhangers]

I am new to this forum and have only been detecting now for about a month and a half. I have been hitting it hard finding some good coin and relics but these two I found the same day, my oldest coin and button. If you can date the button, I would appreciate it. I have read about others similar in the 1830- 1860's. Thanks for viewing.

Sorry, I need to try and resize the pics, I believe. I will repost pics when I can.

Thats a nice looking braided hair cent you found. I like big pic's. A least i'm able to see them and some others post are so small that i need to get out the magnifing glass and still can't see what they have.

Nice cleaning job on that LC--what did you use to clean it with?


Also, if you could tell us what the button says on the back, it'll help us date it if possible.

Warranted Rich Orange is all it says on the back of the button.

Warranted Rich Orange is all it says on the back of the button.

Doh! And it even says it in the title of your post!


Sorry about that...sometimes I'm a few bricks shy...

This coin came out of the ground in pretty good shape but I did electrolysis with 18 volts for about 5 minutes, cleaned off with baking soda and used OOO steel wool to clean it up without scratching it. I actually cleaned it up much better after taking the picture, it looks almost new again. I don't do this to all of my coin finds and I definitely babysit the process so I don't overcook.
