That coin probably stayed in circulation from 1831 until the end of the large cent era in 1857-8. Can you imagine an error like that staying in circulation for that long today!!!!!!!
Very cool. What’s it worth and is it for sale?

Not really sure of value and I don’t believe my friend is selling it.

It's a 4 figure error... A asking price north or south of $2K would seem about right.
Very impressive . . . . . I would love to own something like that!

I also like that the reverse is mounted slab side up.
Looked fine with double vision as it was probably struck on a very cold day when they drank heavily at the mint to stay warm
That IS cool. Old and cool.
Thanks everybody.

way cool. I haven't seen that one before, I like
Very Nice.
I’d want to take a closer look at that coin to be honest. Anyone seen another large cent double strike with that sort of mushed obverse? Certainly if seen on a modern error it would be suspicious, but the minting process was very different back then.
The obverse had another unstuck planchet laying on top
of it for the 2nd strike.
That's why you see the double strike on the reverse side,
but only the first original strike, and the impression of
the 2nd planchet when it was struck again.
Thanks for that. I was wondering if that's what happened. I assume that's also why the obverse is a bit incuse?
@FredWeinberg agreed that’s how it would happen, and I’m glad to hear you think it looks as it should.
I was curious because most indented double strikes I’ve seen have more definition to the indent and less “waviness” if that’s even a term. It’s something I’ve seen sometimes on die struck Lincoln error fakes. But again, thick copper on thick copper, plus a bunch of years of wear can make for some unusual looking errors.
The presses were different then -
Yes, today, in most cases, another
planchet would leave a deeper
indentation on the coin.
Interesting @asheland , thanks for sharing.
