buttons and coppers

[PowerDetecting]

1 toast copper and one kg iii 177? there is a chip on the last # the silver A button I am also trying to get an ID on if you know what it is please do tell. I think it is rev war period button but not sure. Also the other button still needs some cleaning but it has gilding on it and looks like some numbers on it too. Buddy of mine also pulled 2 coppers 1kg ii and a toasted copper. Thanks for looking.

Nice going. Always like finding old coppers. All the KG III's that I've found have been contemporary counterfeit 1775's. The made a lot of these light weight pieces. Of course they made Machin's Mills pieces in NY with the same dates. If you can get a good look at the shield it's easy to tell the difference. On the Machin's pieces the lines in the shield are solid and on the British and counterfeit pieces the lines are outlined. Cool button (or cuff link). Looks like silver. Is it?
