(circa 1780) USA Continental Army button. Pewter. Very Fine (uncertified).
This is an original, Revolutionary War "USA" Continental Army Button, 19 mm in diameter, made of Cast Pewter, with a natural patina. The simple design of this button, consisting of the monogram initials USA surrounded by a rope border, inspired the design of the Bar Copper. Most details remain sharp, the cast line is very sharp and distinct on the underside. The original shank remains intact, and there is some typical roughness to the face and edges. Collected by some numismatists as a “go with” (or substitute for) piece for a Bar copper. This one was surely excavated, like nearly every genuine one I have encountered. Unlike the vast majority of those, this one has it's full, original shank, and shows much less “environmental wear” than most. USA is full, complete and bold. This is attributed as an Albert GI 2 AV, 19mm. If you only want one, this would make a good choice. Guaranteed genuine for life, of course.
