Philip K New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 08/02/2012 11:48 am Hello I am new here and have a rather odd coin. It's a 1819 US one cent Coronet coin. It only has 13 stars and I believe it was suppose to have 15. It also has a rather strange thing I have never seen on any other one before.A large "N" is stamped on the left side of the head. Me and my 11 year old found this coin believe it or not while testing out a metal detector in our back yard near the garden. Strange but true. If anyone can answer this one please get back to me. Thank You. Philip Oh and the coin is in I would say fare shape. Report this Post to the Staff

I am going to try and post a picture now so hang in there OK. We only rinsed with water so she is a little rough. Thanks for all the interest. Report this Post to the Staff
