   Hi, I recently acquired what I thought was a nice circ Fine 1812 Large cent. But upon taking some close ups I noticed that it almost appears to be a small date variety over a large date variety or at least a small 1 over a large 1. I only see the pcgscoinfacts varieties so any help would be appreciated with rarity/value…

   I do see something there...and something by the top of the 8 as well... that looks like a die chip... and perhaps (only a suggestion, I am not expert in this area) it is a die chip by the 1 as well... Definitely something there... Cheers, RickO

   Nice pics. It is an S-290 small date with thin center 8. On the rev. the stem end is far from A 3. As for the repunching at the date I think it was common and in this case sloppy. Have fun with your coin !

   I think it is strictly the small date variety.....not sure what that little artifact is though. I do not believe there would be any additional value for it, as it is not a distinct die variety for this date. Good spot though, and not a bad Classic Head cent that you've acquired.
