Lot 121
1802/0 C-2 R3 Overdate 2 over 0, Reverse of 1803 G4. Struck over Off Center Large Cent. Glossy chocolate brown with slightly lighter toning on the high points thanks to a very light cleaning. The surfaces are smooth and the only mark is a dull but obvious pinch on the rim at the bust tip and opposing area at OF. The date is clear and the overdate is obvious. Many of the details suggest a slightly higher grade, but there are areas of weakness as well, particularly at UNITED and OF. Struck over an off center large cent with "D STA" arcing through the center of the reverse. The "D" is hidden in the top of the wreath ribbon while STA is obvious without any magnification. There is no trace of cent undertype on the obverse, but a shallow indent on the cheek of Ms Liberty was likely from the spoiled cent since it is directly opposite the undertype STA. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0. Weight 72.3 grains. Davy #02.2.14.
Estimated Value $600-UP.
