70.    "Sargent & Greenleaf/Pat'd/Sept. 18 1860/Jan. 9. 1866/Aug. 28 1866/July 14 1857/Ex.7 Years/July 14.1871/Rochester.N.Y.", according to Gregory Brunk, famous author "James Sargent Lock Co. was formed in 1857 and in 1865 became Sargent & Greenleef. It made locks for safes and is still in business. This piece was reported as a well worn large cent, but since the stamps match Rulau NY Ro-9, the piece is probably not a countermarked coin, but a metallic tag of the sort that occasionally was attached to 19th century products...".
