A nasty large cent from years gone by...

[Jim C.]

I found this at an old home site about 3 years back. Check out the word Cent. Nasty minded folks back in the day. Didn't even know that that word was used back in the 1800s. I had seen a few of these posted by others on forums before I found my own. It appears that this was a midwest area hobby. Fun of detecting is ya never know what you'll dig up. Jim

you sure you didnt find that at one of those old church lots, I can see someone deciding not to put in the offering plate and throwing it out instead.

I'm not going to touch this one with a 10-foot pole! Sure is an unusual find, Jim. I would have re-buried it! J/K! ffd

rebury it? I don't think so...maybe take it to a dinner and movie, see where it goes from there....

You would be surprised at the words used in the late 1800's--very common as today--
Many a rough guy and gal back then.
Nice find
