Glossy medium brown and light chocolate. The only marks are a scuff of fine scratches on the portrait and wreath. This was a normal 1826 N-4 cent that was carefully cut down from a diameter of 28 millimeters to 24 millimeters. These were affixed to a pin and worn as a badge to identify the wearer as a "Copperhead," a faction of Democrats that took root in Connecticut during the US Civil War. This lot includes an article about "Copperheads" contained in the E-Sylum, Volume 22, Number 39 (September 29, 2019).
