A very large cent?

[Merf]

I dug this today and it is the largest cent I have found.
It measures 29 by 30 MM and is as thin as a wheat cent.
Any info on the possible year range is appreciated.
TIA, Merf

Yep. That's a bigun.

I have no idea. We'll all learn from this one.

Very nice find Merf.

Nice find Merf. Just a guess but it looks like the back of the 1799 Draped Bust Cent.

I am almost certain that's a Braided Hair that someone has taken a hammer to. I have found IH's hammered out like that before.


Cool find.

Someone finds a hammered coin in the US of A.

I would agree with Rodgerdoger on this one. Looking at the few remaining lines of the bow and wreath positions I would have to say very early 1800's pattern with the 1/100 below wreath.

I think T of T and Buckles are right .
It was either hammered or set on the railroad tracks.
Thanks to all for the replies.
