AN ODD 1793 WREATH CENTDave Wnuck mentioned a rather odd 1793 Wreath Cent in his Making The Grade
newsletter #13 on October 15, 2014. As my request, he forwarded an image and this information. What
do readers think? -Editor
1. Simply a memento, perhaps to be worn around the neck. 2. A few people thought, because of the degree of wear on the coin, that it might be a crude, hand made Civil War dog tag. 3. Lastly, one person thought it might be a toe tag for someone who was recently deceased, to identify the body. I'm not sure what to make of it myself. Perhaps it was simply the work of idle hands one afternoon circa 1840-1870. The only thing I can say for sure was that it was done by someone who was unaware of its value as a numismatic item,. I'd be interested in the thoughts of E-Sylum readers. To vist Dave's web site, see:
