nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3468 Posts	Posted 02/18/2025 4:49 pm Sorry, it's just a damaged cent. I would keep it with your grandfather's other things since he found it interesting enough to hold onto. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/18/2025 5:12 pm Interesting for the shape of the hole to be square. Prior to 1900 or so, nails were that shape and occasionally were used to pierce coins.
