Re: Damaged 1884
Thank you. It’s hard to know exactly when you firs star looking at these coins. I had never heard of a large cent till I saved 9 from the garbage at a job I was at along with several other old coins and several old bills as well.

Re: Damaged 1884
Thank you. I thought I had a oddball. Fortunately I still have several more large cents to check out. It’s truly fascinating how small of detail people look at in these coins.

Damaged 1884
Found this amongst several Canadian large cents. The damage is deep but doesn’t look man made. The location on the piece looks suspect but I was surfing trying to find another like it and did eventually but lost it in my searches. Had a very similar spot but moved closer to the centre and a bit left...
