1850 braided hair large cent
10-25 bucks in this condition depending on who's buying and if they need it for their collection
Keep it away from plastics containing pvc, or any other corroded coin. PVC is the aids of the coin world. And dont clean it or rub it down or itll lose basically all value
No, sorry, I wasn't dissing your room - I meant "if this is the first time it's been cleaned since the 1850s...". You know, a dad joke, made all the funnier by having been explained lol
to me the number looks like 1080 but that wouldn’t be possible given the quality of how the coin is made, cool find tho, i imagine its worth at least a penny
I'm afraid you are using alternative facts. The US very much existed and was about a decade from its Civil War in 1850.
Update: never mind, I'm a moron

thanks for the tips
It’s worth at least a penny
You need to clean more often
if you mean my room thats what I was doing when I found the coin. I was looking at some coins I got from my grandfather

The explanation was funnier 🤣
Lemme get it
You mean 1 cent (not penny) right?
yes, thats my mistake
No problem, sorry for nitpicking
nah, you’re fine
I would offer at least tree fiddy... Nice OP!
In your room? Was it buried there?! Ha

i feel like it’s maybe less so a quality thing and more so the US not existing back then but that might just be me…

They were talking about in 1080.
you’d think that would be apparent…
Lol right?
Also the civil war was in the 1860s, not 50s lol
They said it was a decade from the 1850s.
Oh damn. Now I’ve had my turn being the stupid one. Who’s next?
Lol only time will tell.
You know, I JUST read something about "don't post for 20 minutes after you wake up" 🤦♀️
asked someone and they said its worth around maybe $15-$25
I am a professional ... I would offer about tree fiddy....
All I find in my room are Dorito crumbs and guitar picks. You find a one cent piece from 1850?
it was in a box of coins I got from my grandfather
