[1802 Sheldon 241. Double Fraction Bar]. Off-center strike. Very Fine-25. Struck 40% off-center...") Large Cent. [1802 Sheldon 241. Double Fraction Bar]. Off-center strike. Very Fine-25. Struck 40% off-center toward the 5:00 position when viewed from the obverse. This coin is wildly off-center and lacks a date. Even so, the boldly doubled fraction bar on the reverse leads us to either 1802 S.241 or 1803 S.243; from the positioning of LIBERTY on the obverse, we find this coin to be the 1802 S.241. The unstruck portion features the many bagmarks that would be found on an unstruck Large Cent flan, the upset rims are of a Type II planchet. Surfaces are remarkably smooth, deep olive-brown hue. Here is a simply wonderful coin for either the error coin or Large Cent specialist.
