Awesome old large cent you got there Mike :thumbsup: I've heard that people would hammer a coin above their door many years ago after they built their house.

Wasnt Michigan one of the first settlements outside of the East coast? I'm sure St. Augustine is the oldest city in America. Theres lots of history away from the east coast. Water was the only way to travel, so Michigan was an ideal place set settle.
