Long story short, If you know who I am understand it wasn’t my intention to upset anyone I’ve only tried to learn. Those who don’t know me I’ve posted coins to other forums who other people didn’t care for because I believed them to be something they weren’t, I’m sure this coin will be no different. Before you say what it is think about this I’m already aware what your thinking and no it’s not a coronet. Look closely at the breast plate completely different. I thought in the past it read “parent of science and industry” no the rim reads United States Of America” yes I already know that’s not correct. The reverse has a wreath inside top has 25 under that reads one cents or quarter with a Eagle standing inside wreath on what appears to be a half globe. Below the Eagle is the date of 1792 with the rim reading parent of science and industry again I know you don’t have to say it. It is 27.8 mm and weighs 9.02 gram. Now with that understand I have a feeling almost no-one will know this coin it is damaged from corrosion and difficult to see most of what I’m saying but I’m hopeful someone out there knows this coin. Now think what you want of me I’ve never been one to put much into what people thought of me, but again please don’t dont discount this coin there has to be some record of it somewhere thanks

At the tip of the stick is one of the more prominent 25s found on the coin
It looks like a Coronet Large Cent.

There looks to be enough detail in the coin to recognize it. Looks like @MFeld got it right.

Agree. Whatever is still visible on the heavily corroded surfaces match up with a Coronet Cent. I see nothing that would indicate anything even remotely resembling your description.
Sorry, but it's just a heavily corroded large cent
The coin you are describing is unlike any that was ever made, the coin that you show in the pictures is absolutely 100% a Coronet large cent, I'm not being a hater by saying this, I'm trying to disillusion you of this fanciful notion, you're wasting your time trying to convince yourself that you have a coin/pattern that doesn't exist
PIcture is one of mine in just slightly better condition, do yourself a favor and stop kidding yourself. Please.

Sorry. Any differences you are seeing, between your coin and a normal coronet cent, are a result of the corrosion, and of your imagination, seeing patterns created by the corrosion that simply weren't there on the original un-corroded coin.

I agree, it's just a large cent.
These have to be alts of the same person. There can't be that many fanciful people out there, can there?
dont discount this coin there has to be some record of it somewhere thanks

Clearly identifiable as a Coronet Cent, no question.
Don't act so surprised.
Agree that it's a coronet large cent but beyond identifying this coin's type, there's not much more that you can tell about this coin. It looks like it spent a long time in the ground until it was found by someone with a metal detector. Perfect example of a Basal State coronet cent for someone putting together a grading set.

Coronet cent, extremely corroded. Nothing more... Cheers, RickO
