I was detecting a property in central NY where a farmhouse once stood. It burned down some 80 years ago, but I have found it, and all the out buildings on an 1854 map. I found an 1856 large cent and a cut 1850 large cent in the same hole. I thought at first it was a half cent because of its size, but when I cleaned it off, it turned out to be cut-down large cent with a hole in it. After some research, I think it might be a copperhead medal or medallion. Anyone have any thoughts on this coin, or information on copperhead medallions?
Thanks,
Jim
