211 year old coin

[Mike from MI]

I got this beauty last week while digging with my good friend Mark. It is my new oldest coin. An 1803 Draped Bust large cent.
I also got the nice victorian buckle that day.

Very nice! They used to hole coins in the old days so as not to lose them. they would tie them all together like ammo then break them off when they needed to spend them.I have found a few "holed" coins over the years. cool

I like the hole it adds character from the times. Nice digs.

I agree. I'd have that large cent on a piece of jewelry, toot-sweet. Nice finds!

The hole in the coin just gives it more history imo.But don't tell a gungho coin collector that.

Very nice finds Mike. I talked to my aunt Joyce and we can go over anytime to hunt her place. Unfortunately I have not located the old saw mill back in the woods from the main farm yet. I will but it's just been too wet. I am going out to the main farm tomorrow (Friday)

Hello Mike from Michigan, I am also Mike from Michigan!

Awesome LC, I'm itching to get my next one. The only ones I ever found came from Ohio.
