Hi all. Got out this morning to scout a little bit in the bean fields I got permission for last week. Finds were very minimal again. I did get what I thought was a cut LC. I put it away in my finds pouch after digging it at 4 inches and continued hunting. I found the little flat button ( 16.55 mm ) about 45 minutes later and it was the last decent target. Once I got back to the vehicle, I wiped the LC a bit and saw 1857. I thought that was pretty cool since that was the last year they were minted. Once I got home and brushed it a bit, I can see it is NOT an LC. You can see " unum " on the front and " for defence " ( should be spelled " defense " ) on the reverse with " not one cent " where it should say " one cent " if it were real. It is also 28.25 mm. Not exactly sure what I found, lol. Thanks for looking and your thoughts.

Very nice find OD. I agree with the other guys, that is better than an regular old LC. Good show may man! GL&HH.
 

Ok, I can't top that pic....that was a good one, lol.
 

Speaking of sexual orientation isn't politically correct, young man!

Whoa whoa whoa if I recall weren't you the one to tell another man you liked his bottom or something along those lines? LolIMG_115423832865824.jpeg
 

I think the cut gives it character. This is my hard times mamajama from 1837.

Cool find!

I never seen one before,that is really neat!
 

Awesome finds.
Even though it's cut it's still a cool token. The fact that it was cut tells a bit of a story.

Congrats.
