The listing, 1853 Large Cent Silver Plated ??? Weird take a look. Racketeer? has ended.
I've had this sitting in pure acetone for over a week. Nothing has changed at all. Pretty sure it's not paint then.
I think it's silver plated. Maybe like the 1883 racketeer nickels? Trying to pass as a half dollar since many of this time were illiterate?
Idk. I think it's interesting, maybe you will too.
Seems slightly bowed, not quite flat. Also has a gouge between c and e of cent
Please see photos for condition
Thanks
