Hey everyone, I need an opinion. My uncle has a 1794 large cent. It has a dramatically dropped 4 and a rotated reverse die. I need to know as much about it as possible.. attribution, value, etc. I also would like opinions on the grade. Any help is greatly appriciated. It also looks like a possible over date on the last digit. Thanks!!!
Quote: Sheldon calls this one the "Drunken Diecutter's" variety, due to the odd spacing of LIBERTY and especially the date, in which the "9" is way too high, making the "4" look low, hence "Fallen 4". The "7" has been repunched twice (once near the bust!) and the "4" has been repunched once.
