<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26223214, member: 101855&quot;]Here are a couple of large cents in my &quot;one cent per year, 1793 to date collection. I bought this 1796 Draped Bust cent knowing that it would never grade because of the scratch. Still I like it. I didn&#039;t feel like paying several thousand dollars for piece in holder that would not be any sharper than this one. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1674788[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I have owned the 1801 Three Errors large cent for about 40 years. I paid about $150 for it in an EAC auction. It&#039;s been cleaned but the three errors are really sharp. They are:</p><ul> <li>The engraver didn&#039;t add the stem to the left side of the wreath.</li> <li>The engraver punched the &quot;U&quot; in &quot;UNITED&quot; upside-down and then right-side up which made it look like &quot;II.&quot; </li> <li>The fraction is the undefined or meaningless &quot;1/000.&quot;</li> </ul><p>[ATTACH=full]1674789[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a close-up of the three errors. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1674790[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This reverse is paired with two obverse varieties. This is the more common one, which is somewhat scarce.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
