[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1479070, member: 75105"]I don't really know what you mean by rare, but. This coin has never been identified, some say it was a button. It is not a button, because the holes have such crudeness to them. There is also a bunch of writing on the back, a button would not have such detail, because no one looks at the back of a button. I found it in a cornfield near my house, while metal detecting. The area dates back to the 1830s. The coin itself I'm guessing is from the 1860s or before. I've showed this to many coin collectors, and they have no idea what it is. I also have a possibly rare token. It says "newcomb bros, good for 5 cent loaf of bread" I have never been able to find an example of it in any token books, or on the web.
