Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 03/09/2018 9:33 pm I'm going to be vague here - my apologies. I recently saw a photo of an early 19th century large US cent. Can't recall the date. Instead of 1/100 on the reverse it had 1/000. Was this an error of some sort? Can you tell me which (if any) of the cents had this designation? Thanks.

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/09/2018 9:43 pm I believe there is an 1801 Draped Bust and 1802 Draped Bust Large Cent with that. Here is an 1802 reverse I found. http://www.numismedia.com/cgi-bin/c...de2=pricesms I saw one image of one with the 1 punched over the first 0 in 000. Might be another variety.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 12:44 am It's an interesting error (1/000) but fortunately for you it's very common and you should be able to locate examples from 50-75 bucks and upwards without any trouble.

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 06:55 am Thanks, paralyse. That's encouraging. I'm headed to a small show today. There may not be one there but I'm going to have a look! "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 08:57 am There were five different reverse dies made in 1801 with a 1/000. One of them was "corrected" by cutting a 1 over the first 0. All five dies were used in 1801 to make six varieties (S-218, 219, 220, 221, 223, and NC-3, 221 was the corrected die), one of the 1/000 dies was reused in 1802 for one variety (S-228 rev die of S-223), and the corrected die was reused in 1803 for one variety S-249 (rev of S-221).
