I found this some time ago in my favorite fairground dating back to 1900.
I haven't posted it yet because I can't be sure of the date.
This coin is very, very worn smooth on the front and the back is smoked!!

Using the information found here, I believe it is a first run and dates 1858 or 1859.

Here is the coin I found.
What do you people think?

I agree; first cent dated either 1858 or 1859; the 1859 is 23X more abundant (mintage) and has four varieties but without seeing date, the variety will remain undetermined--if it's a '59.
Great historical find.
