fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3625 Posts	Posted 04/03/2025 1:21 pm Here's another mystery coin, at the risk of having everybody hate me forever for posting another. It's from the same estate sale. I'm beginning to think these are metal detector finds, certainly not from around here. Most of the coins are recognizable, but this one is brutal. All guesses, help, and ideas are welcome! The good news is that it clearly is a Draped Bust Large Cent. It also isn't holed, so there's that. It is, however, bent and looks like it went through a fire. I don't see enough other details to narrow this down much. All help appreciated. Thoughts? Here are the full obverse and reverse shots. Here are three different shots of the date area. Edited by fortcollins 04/03/2025 6:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

If you stare at the full obverse photo long enough and relax your eyes, you won't see a date, but just might imagine hamburgers cooking on a grill. Here is my best guess for a starting point for the leading 1 in the date and a possible last number. Report this Post to the Staff
