Amazon99 Pillar of the Community United States 2443 Posts	Posted 09/05/2007 01:20 am Pick this up off of ebay. It was sold as an off center and possible die trial strike. The edge doesn't look like it was spooned, because it's very unison and circular. What do you guys think? I compared it with a normal large cent and they're about the same size with the original one slightly bigger. Same height was kinda hard for me to determine since they're so close to each other. I would have to say that the normal large cent was slightly shorter than the unknown one. Thanks so much! Report this Post to the Staff

The setup process is visible and doesn't look like the devices were ground down. Could be the only remaining like it? Report this Post to the Staff

I don't think it's a trial strike, because don't they usually have an image reversed? As far as the TPG goes, I think only ANACS would grade it, because it does have scratches on the back of it, unless it was made like that? Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe to try to get down below the scratches that were made by a utility knife? Regardless, that's a pretty cool looking piece you got there. I am interested to see how things play out if you decide to submit it. Report this Post to the Staff
