Any info would be great.

Appreciate it Craw. Yes it say "KKK" and has "STAR ENG CO." the back. I never was able to find anything out about it. Detected it in downtown Houston years ago. And yes, those are all buttons. Infantry, a few Texas, Mass., And other various two piece and one pieces. It's a very broad timespan represented in that frame. These days I focus on this love......

Alright, so you're entitled to your opinion and all, that's cool. I get you feel I did some knucklehead move like a chemical bath on a 177 year old coin and I can't help but fell like now you're hitting below the belt. I should maybe clarify. I'm in fact, no coin grader or appraiser, however, I am a seasoned relic and artifact Hunter. You don't suppose maybe, the lighting is a factor in it's "unnatural" shine? 

By cleaned, how do you mean? The only cleaning it had was under water with a toothbrush after I dug it up. Curious what leads you to think that? Appreciate your input regardless. 

I am unfamiliar with the grading of any type of coin. I've spent hours reading up on how it is done, the terms, etc., etc. Without having actual hands on or being exposed to the coin collecting world it's pretty hard for me to guess the value of pieces. That and im extremely subjective due to the way I obtain them; a shovel and beeping swingy thing. HA. In all seriousness though, I'm hoping some of you coin gurus might give your opinions on a particular piece. Thanks in advance. Stay digger filthy.
