Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/29/2019 7:35 pm Being soaked in acid is MUCH more likely than a wrong planchet especially on an 1846 considering they hadn't made Half Cents since 1835 and didn't start again until 1849. Report this Post to the Staff
Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 06/29/2019 8:46 pm Without a picture it would be hard to tell. Has the coin previously been graded...if so what is the grade? KK Report this Post to the Staff

American Coinage Buyer Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 07/01/2019 4:42 pm It's probably a large cent damaged by it being smashed or cut down. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 6:19 pm Condor101 hit the nail right there "they didn't make Half Cents from 39-49 so no planchets would be laying around to be mixed in with large cent production. The mint didn't make the planchets they were supplied by outside sources so I say Chinese or acid until we can see photos of both sides and the edge. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4421 Posts	Posted 07/03/2019 07:14 am Perhaps the OP has acquired a copperhead's large cent from the Civil War years? These were carried by war protesters. The wearing of these would often start a fight or occasional riot. So, wise protesters took to carry them in their pockets. Report this Post to the Staff
