I had a little play time yesterday so I went back to one of my old sites to see what I left behind. I had missed this deep large cent. Too bad it's holed. Now, I'll just have to nail it to the top of my doorframe for good luck like they did back in the early 1800's!

That's what I did with a couple of holed large cents. Nailed them to a trellis I made in the garage when mama wasn't speaking to me.

Nice sharp detail on that Largie. The hole sort of makes that coin even more interesting. Congrats!
