PINE TREE OR NOT TO BE?

[mattysee]

cleaned up

took some more picks after i soaked it, lg cent and connec copper in pics for ref.......could a coin just wear in the ground in that perfect shape? i dont know what it is i guess ill have it checked out, orig post is on today's finds with the orig pics i took after just finding the coin it is 27mm at 51 grains, just hair thinner than connec copper, i think it resembles the pine tree on the mass copper but not the same size and no other detail to help.....what do you think?​

[h=2]PINE TREE.....OR NOT TO BE! THAT IS THE QUESTION.[/h]

(this is orig post) i found this coin today, i thought it was a large flat button and just threw it in the pocket, got home and cleaned up my finds and with the naked eye you can def make out a pine tree shape, its a little on the thin side but the same size as a half penny. the 4th pic is reverse nothing to make out, pics are tuff.....what do you see?​

It's pretty toasted but that's what it looks like. Nice find HH

To me, it looks more like an arrow pointing up. How about an elevator button ?

I can certainly see the shape, but who knows? What do you see in this
LC before I cleaned it?

I see the bust from a buffalo nickel facing left instead of right though. The years really can be cruel to big coppers. Unless some spade shaped item was lying on top of your coin, I'd say "yes", especially if I had found it, lol. Thanks for sharing the pics and finds.

Okay, not an elevator button! But I still see an arrow and not a tree.

If you look at images of real Pine Tree coins, you will see that your's even as worn as it is doesn't have the correct shaped "tree" to be a Pine Tree coin, sorry but I tend to agree with FreeBirdTim.
