Before the tiny Lincoln Cents of today, there was the hefty and copper Large Cent. High production costs and cumbersome size killed the series, but this icon lives on.

This coin was struck on a smaller half-cent planchet, cutting off the design for a wild error. In PCGS F12BN, it is perfectly worn and perfectly rare—perfect for Mint Error Monday.

In PCGS SP68 with just one finer, this example last sold for $108,000.
