Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803. Struck
over Spoiled Large Cent. A couple points sharper but covered with
light roughness under a rather glossy chocolate brown patina. No
verdigris, and the only notable marks are a pair of very light rim
bruises behind the portrait and a few light scratches inside the
wreath. The date and overdate are clear and the legends are complete
except for weakness at AMERIC and inside the wreath. Struck on a
spoiled large cent, and clear remnants of the off center large cent
show on both sides. An arc of dentils with TES from STATES shows
before the neck and the lower edge of the bust from the large cent
is visible above RICA. An impressive example of this extremely rare
type of mint error. MDS, Manley state 4.0, with obvious die rust on
both sides. Weight 76.1 grains. Davy #02.2.16 Ex Stack's OTC-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/1992:109. |
