WAR of 1812...

[DJWEHAGE]

Today's Patterson Park in Baltimore City was once known as, "Hampstead Hill." A place where troops gathered during the War of 1812. I found this 1812 Large Cent at this local. How cool is that? The "charm" has a dipiction of a steam boat on the obverse. Reverse is unreadable.

Thanks, fano. I thought so, too. Liberty in the headband is real clear. Dug state, though. Not worth much. Historically, AWESOME!

Steamboat token is probably a "Remember the Maine" memento. Sweet finds!

Same token found here: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...ds-wheat-cents-car-token-neat-boat-charm.html
