We have a pre-40 Lincoln thread and an Indian thread, so why not stretch that a bit further? Let's go back to the days of large cents, half cents, and copper-nickel small cents. Obviously, these turn up VERY seldom - most often I guess through metal detecting, or very VERY peculiar coin bags. As such, this should be another fun and rather specific niche.
So I did some re-reading of old threads, and started "re-packaging" what I've dug up so far. Therefore, its not exhaustive yet: please post your finds here!

HALF CENTS
1809 - bman - 2011 or 2012

LARGE CENTS
1801 draped bust - hirbonzig - April 2010
1818 or 19 - bman - February 2012
1857 coronet - zerocd - February 2010

COPPER NICKEL SMALL CENTS
1857 - henrysmedford - March 2013
1858
1859 - HoardCopperByTheTon
1860 - dave - March 2013
1861
1862 - crbattery - early 2013
1863 - adamsp27 - September 2012
1863 - bman - 2011 or 2012
1864 - motos - January 2012 (although it wasn't specified if it was CN or bronze).

OTHER
1788 Massachusetts cent - Diggin4copper - June 2011 or earlier
New Jersey cent - Diggin4copper
