In the previously detected yard again.
My third year in the hobby and I’d say this might be my best find yet. 1848 large cent.
My previous oldest coin was a 1882 Indian cent that I found in my yard last year.
And some more today find’s, wheat’s plus a White House token.

It looks like there is damage to the letter E in cent. Random damage or some ornery kid trying to change the E to another letter?🤔 I’ve seen that done before.
After taking a second look, because I had a few people give their opinion that it had been modified into a brothel token. And I am changing my opinion, it very well may have been modified on purpose…
 

Lots of detail on that thick beauty of an LC- Congrats!!
 

Excellent shape
