Lot 239
"1815" Electrotype Copy Turban Head Cent VF20. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate blending to darker chocolate brown in protected areas. Sharpness is about 10 points better but there are a few patches of minor roughness and some of the underlying base metal shows through on both sides. This electrotype copy was made from an 1813 S-292 that had the date expertly reengraved to 1815, and the "5" is perfectly done. Perhaps that's why someone decided to use this "1815" cent as a model for electrotype copies.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
