Title: Re: Small coin Post by: hotmill on July 19, 2017, 11:52:30 AM yes, back of a button with the shank worn smooth
Title: Re: Small coin Post by: wagis on July 19, 2017, 07:50:13 PM I would agree with that as I have found lots of "small coins" that turn out to be buttons where the shank has worn away, annoying but common.
