<p>[QUOTE="okbustchaser, post: 2641850, member: 72642"]Large cents are rated on the Sheldon scale--the same Sheldon who supplied the S number for the die marriages. An R-2+ die marriage has somewhere between 501 and 625 known examples...and yes, just because there are only 70 or so examples authenticated by PCGS does not mean that only 70 exist. The TPGs have never seen the vast majority of large cents because the vast majority of early copper collectors (although this is slowly changing) prefer to collect raw coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have a nice coin.
