<p>[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 7436758, member: 102103"]Someone hammered this coin around the edges until it became quite concave on the reverse. Looks almost as if it was to be turned into a button or something, though I don't see any sign of it having been mounted. It's in terrible shape, and I probably overpaid at $5, but it caught my curiosity. The portrait faces right, so I'm guessing it might be a Liberty Cap or Draped Bust type. I think I can just barely make out part of "1/100" on the reverse under the wreath. 9.6 g, 29 mm</p><p>Any guesses as to which type it might be, or is it too far gone?</p><p>Probably my oldest US cent!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1290560[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1290561[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
