Ok I think i know what it is, but I would love to know how to get it authenticated and/or appraised. THis is NEVER getting sold, I just would love to know if it is absolutely what I believe. Any help is appreciated. I dug it in northern wyoming county PA

The 1864 Lincoln stickpin in the photo are the type I have seen before, there are a few varieties of them. I have not seen this one you have dug though without Lincolns face on it.. The non-dug stickpin varieties i have seen for sale go from $400-$800. Looks like the one you found is pretty rare.. I am assuming if a non-dug Lincoln stick pin the same variety of yours sold for $800 then a dug one could go for $200-$500. But like I said I have not seem the variety you have and sometimes going on E-Bay prices is not the best practice! Good luck.
