Lot 622
"1821/0" made using an 1821 N-2 F15. A very deceptive alteration of a normal 1821 N-2 cent where strong "undertype" of a 0 shows at the right side of the second 1. In addition, many of the details of Ms. Liberty and the wreath have been skillfully altered or strengthened to create this captivating "new" overdate variety. Glossy medium brown and chocolate, and the retoning was accomplished so long ago that the color appears absolutely original. The weight is a rather low 141.0 grains suggesting the craftsman removed metal in addition to moving some of it around while doing the work. A real eye catcher. DWH #2648.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
