    Summary
    1817 Matron Head Large Cent, eitherway, a "unique" major error within the s=
    eries.
    PLEASE NOTE that the coin pictured below is 1000% better then what the pict=
    ure indicates. being copper, it is hard to lighten to a pleasurable viewing=
    level. Always a full refund!!!!!!!!
    First of All, this listing may seem odd, but I have been a copper collector=
    for 32 years and an ex-EAC and C-4 member. I am well known within the EAC =
    community, so my credentials are superb.
    What I am offering, is a "genuine" large cent that is a major; error and ce=
    rtainly extremely rare or even "unique" This large cent has two obverses an=
    d is considered a "double-head" or a "Flip over strike" however, the revers=
    e undertype cannot be seen at all due to the low condition of the coin itse=
    lf. Please read on,........................................................=
    ................................!
    AUTHENTIC: Yes, without any doubts. This is based on examination that there=
    are no seams, casting marks, re engraving, tooling and put-together impair=
    ments on the coin, on the edge, rim or fields near the edge,...............=
    ..it is perfect and any circulated cent should be!
    COLOR OF THE COIN: This large cent is 100% original in color and wear. No p=
    re-existing burnishing, scratches, abrassives or chemical make-up in on thi=
    s coin,................100% natural.
    THE RING TEST: is perfect for a natural large cent and not a dull thumping =
    sound. any impairments to this coin would leave a dull suspicious sound.
    SIZE AND WEIGHT: The size and weight are "perfect" for the grade of this co=
    in, GOOD-4.
    SURFACE DESCRIPTION: Bothsides show "full obverse" struck features. The mat=
    ron head, the partial word "LIBERTY" on the headband and the stars,.....the=
    re are 15 stars making this the only year of 1817. The date cannot be seen.
    COMMENT: In 32 years, I have seen hundreds of "outside the mint" concoction=
    s and "trick" coins,..............this "is not" any of those,.that is guara=
    nteed! I am an ex-EAC and C-4 copper collector who today, still active only=
    as a collector and in my past 32 years, have discovered several "NC's" and=
    other major Sheldon and NewComb varieties.=20
    REFERENCE: I can supply the skeptical viewer with "top-notch" references.
    PROBABLE HISTORY OF THIS COIN: Either a; true "double head" large cent that=
    was perhaps used as a "die set-up" piece to adjust the correct distance of=
    the dies before striking the entire business run. On the reverse, which I =
    feel that it is, is terminal die sinking from K-6 up to K11 obliverating th=
    e stars completely. I have never seen this on any 1817 cents for any of the=
    NewComb varieties. NOW ANOTHER IS that this also could be a "Flip-over" st=
    rike,....however, on either side, no evidence of the wreath or lettering ca=
    n be seen,......but that would not be that uncommon due to the "Die State" =
    from one of the sides, the reverse where the die had sunk, so therefore, th=
    e striking pressure could not push the metal up into the die design, that w=
    ould cause a extremely weak reverse and with the condition of wear, GOOD-4,=
    ..no reverse wreath or lettering features could be seen.
    BOTTOM LINE" either way, a true authentic "Error" that could very well be a=
    one of a kind. I have never seen a legitimate double head large cent in 32=
    years but I have seen a couple legitimate double reverses
    GUARANTEE: Authentic 100000000000000000000000000000%
    RETURN POLICY: You will have 21 days from the time you recieve this large c=
    ent for a return for a full refund.

    <font face=3D"Arial, Verdana" size=3D"2">1817 Matron Head Large Cent, eithe=
    rway, a "unique" major error within the series.
    PLEASE NOTE that the coin pictured below is 1000% better then what the pict=
    ure indicates. being copper, it is hard to lighten to a pleasurable viewing=
    level. Always a full refund!!!!!!!!
    First of All, this listing may seem odd, but I have been a copper collector=
    for 32 years and an ex-EAC and C-4 member. I am well known within the EAC =
    community, so my credentials are superb.
    What I am offering, is a "genuine" large cent that is a major; error and ce=
    rtainly extremely rare or even "unique" This large cent has two obverses an=
    d is considered a "double-head" or a "Flip over strike" however, the revers=
    e undertype cannot be seen at all due to the low condition of the coin itse=
    lf. Please read on,........................................................=
    ................................!
    AUTHENTIC: Yes, without any doubts. This is based on examination that there=
    are no seams, casting marks, re engraving, tooling and put-together impair=
    ments on the coin, on the edge, rim or fields near the edge,...............=
    ..it is perfect and any circulated cent should be!
    COLOR OF THE COIN: This large cent is 100% original in color and wear. No p=
    re-existing burnishing, scratches, abrassives or chemical make-up in on thi=
    s coin,................100% natural.
    THE RING TEST: is perfect for a natural large cent and not a dull thumping =
    sound. any impairments to this coin would leave a dull suspicious sound.
    SIZE AND WEIGHT: The size and weight are "perfect" for the grade of this co=
    in, GOOD-4.
    SURFACE DESCRIPTION: Bothsides show "full obverse" struck features. The mat=
    ron head, the partial word "LIBERTY" on the headband and the stars,.....the=
    re are 15 stars making this the only year of 1817. The date cannot be seen.
    COMMENT: In 32 years, I have seen hundreds of "outside the mint" concoction=
    s and "trick" coins,..............this "is not" any of those,.that is guara=
    nteed! I am an ex-EAC and C-4 copper collector who today, still active only=
    as a collector and in my past 32 years, have discovered several "NC's" and=
    other major Sheldon and NewComb varieties.=20
    REFERENCE: I can supply the skeptical viewer with "top-notch" references.
    PROBABLE HISTORY OF THIS COIN: Either a; true "double head" large cent that=
    was perhaps used as a "die set-up" piece to adjust the correct distance of=
    the dies before striking the entire business run. On the reverse, which I =
    feel that it is, is terminal die sinking from K-6 up to K11 obliverating th=
    e stars completely. I have never seen this on any 1817 cents for any of the=
    NewComb varieties. NOW ANOTHER IS that this also could be a "Flip-over" st=
    rike,....however, on either side, no evidence of the wreath or lettering ca=
    n be seen,......but that would not be that uncommon due to the "Die State" =
    from one of the sides, the reverse where the die had sunk, so therefore, th=
    e striking pressure could not push the metal up into the die design, that w=
    ould cause a extremely weak reverse and with the condition of wear, GOOD-4,=
    ..no reverse wreath or lettering features could be seen.
    BOTTOM LINE" either way, a true authentic "Error" that could very well be a=
    one of a kind. I have never seen a legitimate double head large cent in 32=
    years but I have seen a couple legitimate double reverses
    GUARANTEE: Authentic 100000000000000000000000000000%
    RETURN POLICY: You will have 21 days from the time you recieve this large c=
    ent for a return for a full refund.
