Ahhh, the stories this cent could tell...how it got its missing metal by the rim, who tried to put a hole in it (who knows, perhaps some civil war soldier got this in change and decided to try to put a hole in it to keep it and got distracted somehow), and then it could have gotten spent if he needed a cent and likewise got worn down to its present condition.
