Found this altered coin Sunday while detecting...

..I have seen this on large cents posted on metal detecting forums before but I had never found one til Sunday.

Some dirty old man probably did it?? I didn't even know that that word was even known of back then.

Check out the word "CENT" on the back of the coin. I looked at it with my loop and it was altered, I can see the little scrape marks. Its interesting to say the least. Just thought I would share.
