Re: Flying Eagle, Large Cent, A Fatty, & buttons

After finding 20 LC's last year, 2010 has been a real copper drought for me--so it's great to live through your good finds and excellent photos. That button is a doozie--probably dates a bit later, but top notch in terms of detail and size. And any Flying Eagle is a great find. I'm really partial to those, but can't ever seem to dig one that isn't just a crusty lump. :D

Well done, my friend. :thumbsup:

Excellent finds Merf! :hello2: Love all the old coppers! That Flying Eagle is a beauty and that bird button is exquisite! :notworthy:
 

Re: Flying Eagle, Large Cent, A Fatty, & buttons

Big Congrats. You never surprise me. :notworthy:
 

Re: Flying Eagle, Large Cent, A Fatty, & buttons

Thanks to all for the replies and kind words. :thumbsup: :hello:

I am posting the button on the what is it thread.

Hope to find the date.
 

Re: Flying Eagle, Large Cent, A Fatty, & buttons

Love everything you found Merf. I found a fatty same year about a month ago. Thanks for sharing dude.

Re: Flying Eagle, Large Cent, A Fatty, & buttons

Beautiful cents, all. Really nice condition, IMO, on that flying eagle and IH.

Regarding the button: looks to be an image of a Chinese Ring-Necked pheasant, first brought to the US as a gift from the Chinese government to the first US Ambassador to China, Owen Denny. Read more about it at: http://www.owendenny-pheasantsforever.org/ Probably the first pheasant release (where the birds survived) was done near my parents' home in Linn County, Oregon. Denny School had a large color mural of the birds, including a historical perspective on them. Currently believed the pheasants were first released at a private Stark Nursery orchard in back of Sand Ridge Cemetery. While pheasants were first gifted to, then replaced by a flock purchased by Denny, it wasn't until the third release that any pheasants in the United States actually survived.

Sweet hunt!

In the next month or so, those fields should be ready for the copper & silver harvest :icon_sunny:

Love that FE cent :thumbsup: (still hoping for one this year)
 

Re: Flying Eagle, Large Cent, A Fatty, & buttons

Great finds there! Love the button! :icon_thumright:
 

Re: Flying Eagle, Large Cent, A Fatty, & buttons

that button is amazing
 

Re: Flying Eagle, Large Cent, A Fatty, & buttons

That button probably dates to from around mid 1800s to 1880s and is a great example of a sportsmans button. Great job again Merf :icon_thumleft: :wink:
