Found this in a collection.
Pretty beat up and not worth much but I think it’s cool.

    Yep, that coin has definitely seen better times... .but I would keep it anyway. Looks like someone was considering it for jewelry. Cheers, RickO

    It's unfortunate the plug attempt was a little weak in skill, or that there was a hole there at all ... but still ... a cool example from the turn of the century, 222 years ago.

    All Draped Bust Large Cents are cool!

    Smitten with DBLCs.
