sweet, thanks for posting

Nice War of 1812 era Artillery. Can you post side by side pics of the front and back of the One Cent Washington Piece? That might be a Banner find.

Couple of guys looked at it and said the arrows are a dead giveaway its real..Going to start the certification process soon.
 

That washington coin is incredible! I read the post and was like, does he not know about the coin? Unbelievable! Banner!
 

WHY, are you going to sell it? It would be a mistake to slab it IMO.

Ditto on having it slabbed. Unless your looking to sell it and want to have in authenticated as a selling point, I would avoid the slabbing. If you pursue a slab for details grade as well, that's even all the more reason. I understand the reasons for a details grade, but I also find it hard to pay $$$ to have a 3rd party regard dug coins as environmentally damaged, scratched, etc. My own experience with NCS (NGC) was awful, as they (the so-called experts) misidentified the variety on an Oak Tree Shilling (my avatar). I'll probably bust is out of the slab some day. You might consider a mineral oil soak for your GW coin. IMO.

Hey silver how deep are those coins hitting at? I’m in love with that George Washington button I mean I can’t stop looking at it.

Wait a minute I hope you’re not planning on selling that I would have that displayed until my elbows hit the pine box. If you do sell it I hope you give somebody from TiNet first dibs on it

PM me a number $

If you need more pictures let me know I was assuming that silver color was silver and the rest was patina. Please let me know because I’m very interested and if it is silver should I takeoff all the patina?
 

that's a beautiful button, I dug an AL1
 

Cool thing was I dug this one across the border before the borders were shut down. couple months apart.
