The thread with the large cent overstruck on a Franklin proof had me dig up this jewel.

Enjoy!

    Braddick, we're dying to know how PCI described that piece on their slab insert? image

    It's part of a "two coin set" (so to speak):

    wow, neat and probably unique? I've seen some of their pieces de caprice on ebay and elsewhere over the years, do you have others? I have a measure of respect for their work, all done in the pre-digital age.

    I had a "1796" large cent struck on a genuine 1974-S Ike dollar, but consigned it on eBay not too long ago.

    Back in the late 90's I had a small grouping of these odd 'after hours' creations and for fun sent them into PCI about ten years later. I was a bit surprised
    they graded them without hesitation.

    Edited to add: Although, upon reflection, I shouldn't have really been surprised.

    It is slabbed, so it must be real.
