1811 Large Cents come with either "Normal" dates or as an 1811/0 overdate. It is possible to attribute these varieties by the reverse alone. The overdate has a raised, horizontal line below the E of ONE which is visible even on low grade examples. If the mark is absent, the coin is a "Normal" Date.
