Mystery Large Cent

[metaldetectingtaylor]

I'm pretty sure this a large cent. As you can see, its of the same exact size as my other one and weighs about the same too. I took multiple pictures so maybe you guys can see something that I don't. I have put it in the tumbler already and still don't see much. Thanks for any opinions.

Looks like it was marked for cutting into quarters, for tax purposes. 1/4 cent tax on purchases was common around here in Michigan. I have several 1/4 pieces that I have found. If you can find out what year Michigan started charging quarter cent taxes, you may be able to get an approximate idea for a year......NGE

While the right size for a large cent, has no noticable large cent features that I can see.

The inscribed 4 is moderately interesting, but can't see a single feature to suggest a possible year. Sorry.

Thanks for the thoughts. I think it will remain a mystery lol
