1851 Braided Hair Large Cent Stamped On Half Cent Planchet?

No one poked at him. People were polite, asked for better pictures, pictures of the reverse, what the weight and diameter were. All things typically needed for evaluating what it might be. I gave a possibility of what it might be. The only thing that might be considered a "poke" was "Another one from "grandpa's attic"? Love the blurry pictures!"

The OP actually did some research before posting and found a braided hair cent on a Half Cent planchet on Heritage. But that coin is obviously struck on an undersized planchet and not all of the design is visible on the coin unlike the OP coin. But the fact that he did go looking is commendable.

Perhaps the op needs a participation trophy. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
