Some people call the lump (die chip) under the "E" in "ONE" on the reverse a "mint mark." I saw a dealer, who was not a risk taker, pay $1,600 for a dateless 1799 cent that clearly showed that mark.

They used to talk about prices of this coin "going into orbit" in the 1960s. Now I guess those prices are in the next galexy.

I purhased it for my one a cent cent collection I am building. The best one I have had graded EF-45, but NGC called it AU-58. [ATTACH=full]1648318[/ATTACH] Here's the one NGC over graded in my opinion. It had lots of "meat" but no luster. [ATTACH=full]1648319[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
