I'll start by guessing the date is 1798.

 

(At least it was lol ! )

I'll take it a step further by guessing it started out life as a Large Cent. ;)

I wish I could help as much as these two did but I'll just have to add that it's copper. Sorry! Couldn't help myself. I know nothing else.

In a much earlier life, she looked something like the scans. Of course, I doubt that she ever saw the insides of a scratchy PCGS slab. Obviously someone took out his/her frustrations on the poor girl (especially where the date was) and then it appears that she got a good bath in some sort of copper cleaner. However, I should look as good when I'm her age....1796-1807.

I'm not THAT good. :D

 

Heh....better to admit that than to BS and be found out....least, that's how I think.

 

I honestly figured this to be mission impossible when I bought it. I think it cost me $10 or so and I just didn't care at that price. At worst, it is a pocket piece and discussion piece. :)

Here is the one in my 7070 album. I paid about the same price for mine. In person you can see that the last number in the year is a 7 so I can at least narrow it down to a 1797 or a 1807. lol I really need to upgrade this spot in my album but I would still buy a few more of these in the $10 range if I found them. :cloud9:
