BINGO! I had the opportunity to see this error collection a couple of months ago. A very fun group of coins. Thanks for sharing these Dennis.

I agree. The only coin that isn't ugly.

Nice color, eye appeal, dramatic error and high grade.
In fact they all are. Nice set of coins you have there!

An old gentlemen I knew when I lived in New Jersey had a nice example of one of these. I don't think that the rest of his collection amounted to too much, but that one piece was really super. I've never gotten into to errors that much so I have never owned any large cents like this group.
This piece pictured appears to be a new addition to the census of this highly deceptive counterfiet cent. All the other coins known are in low grades G to F and at least 2 are error coins. One being triple struck and the other being overstruck on an 1840 Large Date cent.
What is even more amazing is reading the names on the pedigrees of the coins Breen traced, Chapman, Newcomb, Starr, B. Max Mehl, Parmelee. Proskey and Sheldon to name a few.

The amazing thing about this poll is that the most popular coin (the brockage) was perhaps the least expensive of the 7 errors, whereas the least popular coin (the 1823 off center) is perhaps the most expensive.

<< <i>What is interesting is how much these coins circulated. Not much error collecting going on in the very early 1800s!! >>
They circulated because one cent was a nice chunk of change back in the day and folks were too poor to save them so they circulated. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it
