<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25365043, member: 101855&quot;]The late Carvin Goodrich, who was a well known collector in the New England area, owned one of the rare 1802 “old reverse” half cents for many years and didn’t know it. From most angles, the reverse of the coin appeared to be a blank. Then, as he described it, he had the coin lying on a desk when sun hit it in just the right direction. He saw the hint of the distinctive lettering and realized that he had an important rarity! </p><p><br /></p><p>I saw the coin many years ago. It was obvious to me, but if you weren’t looking for it, it was easily missed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
