I don't know why I'm interested in this thing. It would just be a $25 lump of....thing....sitting on my desk, but for some reason I like it.

Maybe someone here will want to grab it and do the ultimate crackout? :p

    Interesting & damaged. Think it's not an 1853 or an 1851,
    but an 1850. Someone will think it's a great treasure &
    scoop it up.

    I have a paperweight with modern cents in them, but it's clear and you can see them. It looks like they are floating.

    Over the years it has been pushed off my desk and is sitting in a box.

    Now I keep a glass filled with silver coins on my desk. I like that much better. I'd suggest you go that route.

    Already gone.... a soak in acetone would release the cent though.... takes a little while... Cheers, RickO
