Well I finally found an 1806 Large Cent.

Now just need to figure out how to get it slabbed!

    I hear it has great provenance. It was once owned by the pope. It’s Hol(e)y! o:)

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    It probably spent many years turning someone's finger green.

    Many of the diagnostics are no longer visible, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that were a Chinese coin.

    At minimum, it's highly questionable. There's only one known variety of the 1806 large cent. Obviously, turning it into a ring does distort the designs, but I would say it does not match. Check the position of the "6" WRT the bust, and the hair point WRT the "E".
