What do you think it is worth?

 

Got this half groat in the post today. Exactly what made me buy it is a mystery as it really is a little too beaten up to be a keeper. I think the desire for a Commonwealth coin took over common sense.

 

Very cool and unique medal, I love the story that goes along with it

 

Here's the coin...

 

Can you read the year or know that value difference

I am sure yours means more to you, found it personally.

I have a few I found but digging in my garden bed house was built in 1860's. On older cattle path next to rail road my detector isn't very good

 

I was told by someone online that it is a 1786 Maris 16-L variety.

 

Another problem token or button I found

GWI Button with holes

Not sure of variety I know it is rare but don't know a value!
I found website specializing in them.

 

Very nice button. I have found almost 100 colonial buttons metal detecting so I have come to love old buttons. My holy grail button metal detecting would a GW button, so far I am still looking for one though.

 

Good luck


Here is another partial roll I had buried in back of the 90% stack anything of great importance

Havent ID all of them(most) yet

Most 1700s but some 1600s and some 1800s

 

Problem coin is this really Patriotic die 100B 1863 Indian head?

 

I'm not an expert on Civil War tokens but it looks real to me.

 

What proof do you have to back p that statement?

 

Forgot the link in the first post.

The photo itself is proof that this coin is fake, it looks more like play money

I would almost hesitate to call that a problem coin, based on the standards for coins of the era. Granted, I would rather trade better surfaces for somewhat less detail, but I still think it's nice.

 

Why would someone hole a big coin like this in the center? It's a 20 Reales...

 

Not sure, maybe they were just bored. I have seen a lot of coins with holes in the middle, maybe there was a reason.

 

Agreed. Ngc calls it environmental damage. With better surfaces it'd be a stunner

 

My one coin that gives me the most anxiety!!
