Neat Large Cent error

Here is a neat Matron Head large cent error I have had for awhile. How rare is something like this? Does anyone know the value on these? I don't have anything to really compare it too. I am thinking of putting it on Ebay or maybe BST. Anyone else have cool large cent errors?

that is really cool! no idea as to value though. its amazing that it is that worn too with such a dramatic error

I am also surprised at how worn it really is, must have been someones lucky piece. It has a really nice patina to it.

How is the reverse double struck but not the obverse?
And no indent on the front from a blank planchet

The press maybe broke where just the ram for the reverse die was swinging?

This is what I was thinking also. It looks like the obverse could be a little flat in that area and also the rims are hard to see in the slab. How do the rims look were the two strikes intersect?

I think you have it backwards, the coin in the OP probably created a nice indent brockage in a second planchet. That would explain the lack of a second obverse strike and and the mushy details of the first strike opposite the double-struck reverse.

My favorite large cent error was the off center struck coin with "CENT" misspelled. This coin was the topic of at least one thread.

It was body bagged but someone accidentally slabbed it with the body bag tag.

So nobody has any idea as to the value of this coin?

Exactly, there are generally two planchets involved in these old large cent errors. I have two large cents, a 94 and a 96 that are unstruck on the reverse because there were 2 planchets in the press. I wish I had the reverse too. --Jerry
