✅ SOLVED Odd Large Cent

[rick67]

Was at old farm field this morning. Found a colonial button, pewter button, couple of flats, what’s left of a gold ring and what I thought was a 1837 large cent, but not sure now.
It says “Millions For Defense” around edge and “Not One Cent For Trade”? down the middle of back. Front has something written on top but i legible and 1837.

Thanks guys. I've found other types of hard times but not one considered unofficial currency of the time.
