(ca. 1777) Continental Army USA Button. Pewter. Very Fine.19 mm. 45.6 grains. This is a nicely preserved vest button from this most famous issue of Continental Army buttons, the one that directly inspired the design of the obverse of the famous Bar copper. Dug, as usual, but stable and actually rather "tight" with hard surfaces. The USA monogram is sharp and clear. Overall rough steel and russet surfaces, the shank on the back is missing, but the button retains its fully round shape and there are no significant flaws. Uncommonly appealing for the type, and worthy of inclusion in an advanced cabinet.
