These are in the 1800 and 1801 time frame to go along with a 1798 I found earlier. Could some Large Cent specialists tell me if this is typical? I've been collecting a long time, but I haven't studied a lot of coins in detail to know how common this is. I just read on another thread that Talbot and Lee tokens were cut down and used for Half Cents so I suppose the mint would have been reticent to discard poor strikes rather than repress the planchets.[/QUOTE]
