<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2077078, member: 26302"]Yeah, the whole series was struck on bad planchets. I would ask the opinion of a EAC member. Maybe TPG's give this series a break since so many look like this, maybe its normal for the series. For any other series of large cents, F details would have to be the answer.</p><p> </p><p>Weird story, but this coin is part of one of my favorite Ebay Win stories. For some reason 4 years ago I saw an Ebay sale just saying "1812 coin and bible", with a very fuzzy pic. I himmed and hawed, but the coin looks like a large cent. I bought it for $50, (only bidder), and when I got it home it was a F15/VF20 1812 cent! Better yet, a few months later researched the bible and found out it was a very rare US printed Bible. I donated the bible to the Lutheran Seminary Rare Bible room here for an $800 tax deduction, and kept the cent! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
