front is blank and the back is a large cent..was some made this way or is it just warn off....
 
Hi Terry. The wear on the front doesn't seem to be enough to warrant the back being worn completely smooth. I'd guess you have a mint error. You should take that large cent into an expert, cause it may be worth some serious coin. Nice find!
Some info on mint errors from the link below:
>>>Here are some examples of mistakes that you can find on a coin.
Brockage is when the obverse design appears on the reverse side of the coin.
Edge Errors are when the coin has the wrong letters on it.
This is just one example of this type of mistake.
Mintmark Errors are when the mintmark appears twice on the coin or the coin is missing the mintmark. These are just two type of mintmark errors.
Mule is a coin with a different type of coin on each of its sides. An example of this is a nickel on the obverse side and dime on the reverse side. This would be neat to see!
Numeral Errors are coins with missing numbers, wrong dates, numbers that are not in the correct order, and numbers that are not in the correct place.
Unstruck Planchet is a coin that leaves the mint without a design on either side. This is known as a "blank."
 
Below is a link to a current Ebay auction for a 1846 Large Cent with blank planchet:
1846 Large cent in very fine condition. The reverse is blank. The blank side does not have an upset rim.

I found it at an old house that was moved away. All you can see is the head, thats it! I found it at the corner of the house, it was considered good luck to bury coins at the corners years ago, but it was the only one that I found.
