Worst 1809 US half cent you will ever see

[smokeythecat]

I was out digging in the snow and found this. It's an 1809 US half cent and I can read the entire date and part of "America" on the reverse, but someone took a hammer to it. Also found two CW period buttons and a few nice pieces of ceramics.

Digging them out of the snow. You guys are dedicated. Nice job Smokey!!!

Hogtown Hunter, maybe "dumb" is the word.

Still better than no cent.

Cool Elvis! I'm going back in the snow today. My rear and the couch have spent too much time together this winter. I also have to stop watching cartoons before I go to bed as I became a superhero throwing lightning bolts and making a complete train combust going down the rails last night in my sleep. And I was the good guy! Maybe I'll find another Confederate button there.

No Confederate buttons but did get some nice stuff and prepared the area for the plow to come, moving rocks and making sure all holes which has "sunk" due to settling are properly filled.
