I don't know why you would try and guess my age doesn't that make you a little immature? And I'm 27 married with children. Ha anyways...I think it's rude to tell my items that I usually post isn't civil war when clearly all signs and "facts" point to that and when I said earlier that the excavated ones were worth more because I already looked in the button price guide and that's clearly what is there written so the ones that I ranted on publicly was my honest opinion and everyone is being hypocritical and contradictive but sure post them opinions and I'll post mine I'm not trying to bash anyone unless I'm the one getting bashed on first I am a very knowledgeable and experienced relic hunter...good day and hh

If your going to get along with people on here, you need to take some deep breathes.
I assume your continued rant refers to your post on the Civil War era Gold Coin? Lets clear this up now;
Read it all again - I NEVER said its wasn't dropped during the Civil War.
I stated your 'theory' or speculation was 'SOUND'.
However, it was not dug from a Archaeological layer, so in purist terms you can't call it a fact that its Civil War lost - simple.
The sooner you understand this, the better you will be at adding up all the 'clues'.

Now on to this button. Most collectors (I have been 1 for 30 years) will look for 3 main things:
Provenance
Condition
Rarity

Now if the Provenance comes with a good story as well as a location, then most will pay more. We all like a good story. So a button from a well known battle site with regimental details etc will do well.
However, a near new shinny one from a uniform with just as interesting story (maybe owners name) will clearly be worth more.
When looking at yours they will consider the condition, not so good, & the rarity, not bad, & the provenance, a little weak & come up with a value.
What they WILL NOT do is look in the book & see that 'excavated' ones are worth more & pay you more than a really nice non-dug one. That IS NOT how it works.
