The "Mind your business" quote on that coin is the best thing I have seen in a while lol! Great find Dutchess! Thank you for sharing.

Great chain cent! Congrats!

Not a chain cent... but a Fugio as IP said above. This coin is said to be designed by Ben Franklin himself. Great find!

Very, very nice find! Be careful cleaning that one. I wouldn't do anything else with it other than apply some bees wax or Verdi-Care and put it in a plastic 2x2. If you need a source for one that will fit drop me a PM. Regards, Erik
