After what seemed like an entire month of rain here in Virginia, I was finally able to get back out with the White's. I guess the wait paid off. Found this Norfolk Military Academy Button and the 1865 2 Cent piece within five feet of each other. Back mark reads "R & W Robinson Extra". Thanks for looking.

That is a great button find ! I think I have only ever seen 2 others posted in the last 4 years ! The two center looks in good shape as well ! Nice finds ! M.R.

I think this maybe the 4th, still, who's counting :laughing9:

It looks like it will clean up a little - nice shape :headbang:

I have seen Hampton Military Academy buttons posted, but only one NMA that I can recall. Similar design. These are rare.

Cheers,

Buck
