✅ SOLVED UGH! What did I leave in the hole???

[ToastedWheatie]

I dug this out of a farm field, and at first thought it was a copper "pickers tag".



After a little cleaning, it looks like it's going to be a Matron Head Large cent (1816-1835 28.5mm diameter)



But the obverse is worn smooth.
Except.....

When I look under magnification, I can clearly see the remnants of a curved "Liberty" in small letters where it shouldn't be.



Was there another coin leaning against it?

Did I leave a Flowing Hair large cent, or a Half Cent in that hole?

I remember doing a 30' circle around that hole looking for more drops, but can't for the life of me remember if I rechecked that d@$n hole.

DOH! Interesting observance.

Unless you reversed the image it would not have been from another coin's impression.

Likely from the coronet of the Liberty figure.

Duh. Now I feel like an idiot.....

Thanks Charlie!

Now that I step back and relook at it...
I didn't see this the first time.
