Hey guys it's been awhile since I've been on as work has been nuts this summer. But I recently dug this 1788 Mass cent with a scalloped edge. I love these items with a personal touch. I also found this 1772 half real that was turned into a button or Cufflink awhile back. In my opinion these items such as counter stamped coins, holed coins, or any coin that was hand worked is just a cool piece of history. The one coin that I've found that I wish hadn't been altered was the 1652 pine tree shilling I found last year but I'm just thankful to have pulled a piece of Mass silver from the dirt. Most never will be so fortunate. And since it's staying in my collection I just say the hole adds character lol. Good luck out there guys
Btw I believe this to be a Ryder 11-C which would be a fairly scarce one. 65-124 known. But I'm certainly not an expert and iding these state coppers is not always easy
