I am trying to learn a little about the coin collection that I just inherited and have many coins to go through. There are coins from the 1800s to early 1900s but this one really stood out in the pennies box of the collection because of the color being really bright like bronzish. Thank you for any information.

0311hammer New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/10/2025 11:59 pm Thank you for the information, since someone has modified this coin for jewelry or a keychain, can I assume this coin is now scrap metal or is there any reason to keep it in the penny box of the collection?
