i dug this last year. it has a bust of a woman or man? it is the exact same size as a bust dollar. it is concave like a button, so there is no eagle on the reverse.

    Looks like it could use an "ezest bath"... I have a small jar to give you next time we meet up. I think you're going to like that stuff and will end up buying some. (that Morgan needs to be finished!)

    Hope you get an ID on this one...

    I thought mine was tough.

    thanx rick, i'd like to clean my other morgan as well. got a couple seated halves that are real ugly too. hopefully tomorrow will turn up some goodies.

    I doubt EZ-est will help that much.

    Be careful. That looks intriguing. Were I to guess, I would say that it's a man, wearing an 18th century wig.

    George Washington?

    I would have guessed a button.

    well, it sure looks like an Austrian Thaler of the early 1800's made into a button perhaps a wild guess but the profile looks like a lot of Austrian Coins.

    would a little time in a homemade electrolysis bath help that?
