My oldest, and most awesome CRH'ing find. ***MORE PICS ADDED***whatsit? &foreign

So, I got a bag today, of halves of course... Not much silver just a few 40%ers. , but I did find my oldest coin to date... It isnt silver, and its only a penny, but I think it is cooler than most silver halves you are gonna find. It is a large cent. Unfortunately, it is pretty beat up so I havent been able to figure out what date it is yet... I am close, and I just need to find my loupe and spend a minute to try to figure it out. It is one of the ones that has a line underneath cent, on the back... So I believe that means it is 1837 or older.... I will do some more searching, and try to post decent pictures...
There is also a whatsit.... I have no idea where to even begin, so maybe I will post of pic of it too... see if anyone here knows a direction to point me in maybe.

Thanks. Chris.



If anybody has any suggestions on how to determine the date, or if there is a way, that would be amazing.. I think I can recall hearing about a way to do restore the date possibly without ruining the coin? Is that possible, or just wishful thinking?

I will, but I dont think its a coin... six months ago, I would have just tossed it, but after learning some of the amazing things i have learned from this website, I am not tossing anything anymore, until I know it is not anything special. This is kind of like convex shape, it is rather thick. and has some symbols on it, but nothing I can translate. the back is just plain, like a texture, but no design or anything. I am sure it is garbage but if someone here could help me identify it, that would be awesome. I am also going to include a picture of the foreigns I have found in the last couple weeks. One of them is Silver. (the one next to the old large cent)

I actually did a report on celtic people last semester in college. That is a celtic tree of life in the middle of the convex brass "coin." I dont think its super old though, they sell things like that in irish shops, its kind of like a "worry stone" where people hold it in their pockets and rub on the concave side, but it just has some celtic designs on it. Not sure about the symbols around it, but the thing in the middle is a celtic tree of life for sure.

I didnt know what a talisman was, so I looked at some pics of some. The thing that is different about the thingy I found, is that it doesnt have any sort of clasp, or any indication at all of ever being anything other then just its stand-alone self. I dont see how it has ever been attached to anything, or part of anything different than just what you see in the pic. It is interesting, and I would love to at least figure out what it is, or where it came from.

It opens a door in one the pyramids in Egypt.
