1803 One Cent Error

Here's a little tip if you need help in making the coin smaller. I always use this site for making my pics smaller.

And

Could it be a Sheldon 265? Might be that very scarce variety! 1/100 over 000. Maybe somebody will be along that knows more about that variety.

Here is the front.

Yep, S-249 the corrected fraction. This reverse die is actually a leftover die from 1801. In 1801 they accidentally made five different reverse dies with 1/000. All five were used in 1801 with one of them having first been corrected by cutting a 1 over the first 0. One of the 1/000 reverses was reused in 1802 on S-228, and one of them (1801 rev K not J as stated in Breen's book on cents.) was corrected in 1803 and re-used to strike S-249. (It is not the same die as the one corrected in 1801.)
