Thanks for the info! I know I have a couple of these, I'll have to dig them out.
And next comes the deluge of posts on here asking "Is this the in cod we trust error?!!!", they are going for big money on ebay!!!
Nice looking well circulated coin. I see no reason to get it slabbed, even if you wanted to sell it most colonial collectors seem to prefer raw...
Since 1776 there has been only one genuine one ever known and many thousands of replicas. Odds are definitely not good, pictures will confirm....

Nothing wrong with that, but before looking for coins, study up so you know what to look for. Sites like error-ref.com, varietyvista.com,...
I agree with Paddyman, if you want to search for errors for enjoyment, thrill of the hunt or build a collection by all means go for it. A...
That's about $15 a coin, probably in the ballpark for low grade/damaged large cents. If I was going to spend $200 on large cents I would much...

It's bent, that is absolute proof that it was done after minting. The coin can't be bent while it is in the dies. Whatever struck the obverse...
