Are you saying you got this coin in circulation?
or out of a 5C each junk box?
in any case its always good to win a lottery prize, felicitations!

I would love to get a coin from 1835 in circulation, but I've never been that lucky quite just yet.

But bargain finds are always good. Methinks it was overstruck on the Dutch 1 Cent, given their respective sizes, rather than the half cent though.

These have been struck over 1 cent coins:

I was said their valuer would be higher if you can read the year of the original coin.
