The lead buttons had a white patina till I tumbled them and the token says Koppers stores inc 1 good for merchandise only. Any ideas on the age of the finds? Thanks, Jeff

Jeff, the buttons are from the late 1800's. Question..Why did you tumble them? The Koppers Token is probably from the Sonman mine in Johnstown W.Va. they were made by Orca and are used for mining script.

I didnt know tumbling would remove the white patina, I was hoping for a better I-D with tumbling. I thought I might be messing up when I did it. Jeff
