Got an altered coin I have wanted for a long time

[Goes4ever]

Hunted an old farm after work and only got one coin. But it was a good one! Something I have wanted for a long time. A 1854 altered large cent....the dirty version lol. I have seen several people find these and I always wanted one! So funny how people even used this word in the 1800s. Also got a 1939 chauffeur badge and a mystery item as well.

Congrats on a really cool find.

That's awesome that somebody altered it so long ago.

Nice Large Cent, but I really like the badge.

did a google search and found some interesting info........ can't post it here because the site blocks the "C" word

Congrats on the altered cent and the Chauffeur's Tag.
I really don't pay that much attention to the lettering on the reverse of the LC's.

Then you would have surely missed that the Large Cent is an 1854!

I've seen altered coins before but never one like that- dirty old men of yesteryear!
