Lot 584
Undated Mature Head Large Cent, the Obverse Heavily Blunted, F12. Glossy medium brown. The reverse is struck normally but the obverse is extremely blunt. Probably struck through grease used to lubricate the press. There are faint traces of a date suggesting the last numeral is a 0, 2, 3, or 6, and the "look" of the cent suggests a date in the 1850’s. Only stars 4-6 are visible at all, so that gives you an idea of how blunt the obverse strike was. Weight 156.0 grains, which is close to normal for the grade. DWH #3352.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
