My local detecting mentor found two on the same site near the waterfront in our town. They were from vastly different eras. One was a 1781...

True. I wouldn't worry about them going to the smelter. They shouldn't be too hard to sell, I reckon. Nice dilemma to find yourself in.

And, if nobody objects to my sprinkling in two extra bonus entries, let’s give @Mr. Numismatist an extra shot, too. I was looking at strawberry...
I’ll toss an extra ticket in the hat for @Nyatii
LOVE that Seated buck!!!
“Fertilized chocolate” does not sound good.
I bought the Dahlonega token at the museum in Dahlonega.
