1851/81 US Braided Large Cent Overdate Variety Rare - United States Braided Large Cent 1851/81

This listing is for the 1851/81 US Braided Large Cent Overdate Variety Rare. The 1851/81 Large Cent is more than an overdate, it is a normal date over an inverted date. When the engraver added the date to the die, he failed to notice that the date punch was inverted. Upon realizing his mistake, he oriented the punch correctly and restamped the date into the die. To efface the error, the engraver ground down the die, resulting in a weak undertype and myriad die lines on the lower and right obverse.
