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.

Rest in Peace

Then I think there's the over stamp 1/0 variety too?

I believe there is an 1801 Draped Bust and 1802 Draped Bust Large Cent with that.
Here is an 1802 reverse I found.

I saw one image of one with the 1 punched over the first 0 in 000. Might be another variety.

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.

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!

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).
