JRG Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 04/24/2016 8:01 pm Wife and I made a nice day trip to Jefferson's Monticello and turns out there are actually 7 steps I'm a bit of a history nerd so I really enjoyed myself. Thought I would share a few pictures. They were also selling coins in their gift shop, so I ended up buying an 1856 large cent for $15 to commemorate the trip. Actually what caught my eye was that the coin had abnormally raised edges and from an edge view had a hammered copper look like they do with mugs. It's definitely PMD, reminded me of modern day Dryer Coins. Not sure why someone would alter a coin in that way. Has anyone seen something like that before? Report this Post to the Staff

(Don't know the name of it) I don't recall seeing one, although the gift shop area was huge, it's possible they had one. Next time we go I'll keep a look out. Quote: Do you have a pic of the 1856 large cent you could post? Yes, I'll upload them tonight. I wasn't sure if I should post them here or in classic coins. Report this Post to the Staff
