<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 3205629, member: 15588&quot;]That coin has really seen a lot of history and it was minted in an era of economic ruin. The Panic of 1837 sent shock waves throughout the global economy and prosperity didn&#039;t return again for some time. Newly elected president Van Buren had only held office for 14 or so days when everything suddenly exploded. Some blamed Andrew Jackson&#039;s veto of the Second Bank of the United States&#039; Charter; others said that the 1830s resembled the 1920s in wild speculation and general irresponsible excess. Whatever the cause, those were glum days. Anyone in that time would have probably loved to find and possess that cent. Things did look a little better in 1838, so perhaps the coin saw some relatively happier times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
