Lot 823		1848 Small Date Fantasy Cent Breen-1901 R7- PCGS graded VG10. Glossy light chocolate brown with darker olive brown toning in protected areas. Possibly lightly cleaned and retoned as there are traces of lighter reddish brown toning in some of the protected areas, mostly on the reverse. The surfaces are smooth, void of any hint of corrosion or verdigris, and there are only trivial contact marks. This example was struck on an 1840 Newcomb-12 cent. The date of the host coin shows clearly at the dentils right of the hair bun of the Small Date obverse, and much of the host cent remains visible on both sides (enough that the attribution of the host was possible). The reverse is rotated 155 degrees CCW from a normal head-to-foot die orientation (but nothing about these Small Date cents is really "normal"). This variety was not assigned a number by Newcomb since the dies used were not of mint origin and relatively crude in their execution, but he devoted two full pages to the Small Date variety in his 1940 book on the series due to its popularity. Many of the top collections of this series have contained a Small Date 1848 cent. At least 10 examples have been traced, but this is the only one confirmed as being struck over a US Large Cent. Called VG8 in the Noyes census, his photo #29381. Our grade is VG8. The attribution and Naftzger Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Pop 2; 3 finer for the variety, 1 in 20, 1 in 53, 1 in 55. Value $6,000 - UP Ex Essex Institute (Salem, Mass) Stack's 2/6/1975:225-R. E.
