Years ago, Dan/Del and George took me to my first cellar hole...and the first colonial thing (technically not colonial) I ever witnessed being found was a Nova Constellatio coin. Such an amazing, historical artifact! Google it! Well...I've waited a dozen years to finally find one...sure, mine is mostly missing and possibly the worst copper ever posted but I FOUND ONE!:lol::happydance01:
The almost month long GW curse is broken! :yahoo:
Congrats, Drew! Heck, anybody can find a round one! Yours is unique! ;)
Its shape is a head-scratcher. I wonder if it was used for something, or is this just random mutilation? Either way, it sure is a curiosity.
Hey congrats on the Nova , Drew ! a very interesting specimen too :thinkingabout::thinkingabout: purposely halved at some point (probably to make change ) but I'm with Tony on this one and think it was specifically used as something .

Wow Drew, congrats on the Nova! Would love to know why they did that & what it was used for.
Nice one Drew! I'd take a half a Nova any day. I agree with Rebel.
That’s an amazing find and piece of history. Congrats!
Congrats on the bucket lister. Maybe the next quest is figuring out what it was made for as I agree with the rest of the guys it looks like it was purposely made for some use. Congrats. WD

Whaddaya think?
Congrats Drew! Other than gold, that would be my #1 bucket lister which unfortunately probably won't be found in the Midwest. Certainly a unique specimen. Guessing now the ice is broken you'll probably soon find a whole one. Good luck and HH!
I think that coin made into a skinning device is a real solid guess. WD
Congrats on the coin Drew, I never heard of Nova Constellatio before, so I looked it up. I keep learning about all these cool things you guys find and post on here.
