CU "Draped Bust" Large Cent, stemless wreath variety (28.57mm, 10.79g, 6h)
Dated 1802. Philadelphia mint
Obverse: LIBERTY above draped bust of Liberty right, with hair tied in ribbon; date below
Reverse: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around wreath containing ONE CENT in two lines; 1/100 below.
Reverse die S-241. The reverse die was evidently mis-engraved at first but corrected and used anyway. The errors are still visible, with the last "S" in STATES being originally engraved too low, as well as the fraction bar at 6 o'clock. The lack of wreath stems is a third blunder. An interesting and somewhat scarce mint error coin.
