Lot 150		1823 Braided Hair Cent. Unofficial restrike. MS-61. With some blunt striking on Miss Liberty and with two low areas, one on the face and the other in the hair over ER, these probably due to some foreign substance on the die at the time of manufacture. Intermediate die state. Medium light steel brown with traces of mint red. It is a wonderful story about how these dies were apparently sold by the Mint in a scrap steel sale years after they were used to strike regular issue coins. They have passed through various hands and are still privately owned today. No doubt several private owners have "manufactured" their own coins in copper, gold and silver, and why not, they owned the dies perfectly legally, used the dies for their intended purpose (striking coins) but please, oh please--don't tell the Secret Service as they would love to confiscate these "counterfeit" strikings. Most such dies have been rounded up by our special service agents and destroyed to protect the government monopoly on striking coinage. One need not look too far to see a great variety of private issue coinage from the United States, often in the form of advertising tokens or emergency issues. This 1823 Large Cent is similar, except that these "restrikes" are coins made outside the mint, using mint dies, to produce coins for collectors. View details	Realized $489
