Sorry for the awful pics, taken very quickly on the floor of the local show today.

This large cent was so interesting I had to take a pic. The coin is in a PCGS VG holder.
One of the local dealers picked this coin up recently.
Does anyone have any idea on the raritiy and value of a coin like this

    Looks like a corrected error. The first strike was an off-center brockage (of the obverse on the reverse), and the second strike (technically a flipover) was done as a cheap way to get rid of the error.

    I take it the coin also shows a rotated reverse?

    Looks to me that it's a flip over double strike, with the first strike off-center.

    I'm with Broadstruck- easily a four-figure coin.

    Large Cent errors like this go for a lot of money. Sweet coin- thanks for sharing! image

    Strange it would circulate for so long before someone pulled it from circulation. I guess people really didn't care about coins during the pre Civil War era.
