For those who do not know of Bob Julian he is a numismatic artist with unbelievable skill and talent; he is currently finishing his drawing of one in my collection.

This "coin" is special to me, as it proved the counterfeiters had used cull large cents for planchetts initially.

This example is overstruck on an 1840's large cent, possibly an 1843; Bob worked hard to make the undertype "pop" in these images including the star in front of the face and the 2nd "ONE CENT" on the reverse.

His link for this one can be found at: https://www.robertjulianna.com/product-page/1796-large-cent?fbclid=IwY2xjawFzaDJleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHSMMbbQtcNNKUbxaM8CfimcjycikuovY9o9vZQDGxUS_LOQpUatxfY83mg_aem_A8Tj49gBhlVP8gD1ilCtHQ
