<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24704148, member: 101855&quot;]Here is an example of the 1801 cent with the three error reverse. The fellow who made this die &quot;may have had a few&quot; the night before. The &quot;U&quot; in &quot;UNITED&quot; was punched upside down and then right side up creating &quot;IINITED&quot;, the left stem on the wreath is missing and the fraction is &quot;1/000.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>This is not a super rare coin, but they are hard to find in high grade. I bought this one in an EAC auction many years ago because I was interested in the variety. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1578067[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This high grade 1820 cent was part of the Randel Hoard. Supposedly a keg of Mint State large cents was discovered when an old railroad station was razed. At first coin dealers and others could not believe that this hoard of large cents from 1816 to 1820 consisted of genuine coins. Some said they were restrikes. Others said that they were counterfeits. Today that hoard of perhaps 5,000 pieces makes up a large majority of the high grade large cents that are known from 1816 to 1820.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1578068[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
