Right on the money! Never heard of those before. That's fascinating! This is for sure an interesting find.
So I posted this coin in my cleaning thread, and I did some more looking and I think I know who had this coin minted. I think it's Antoninus Pius,...

1854 Large cent. I still don't have a photo of it after cleaning, but it looks great! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
