The name of George Korsing appears in the provenance of several early cents including this 1802 NC-1. His name appeared in the May 1972 issue of Penny-Wise as a new member of Early American Coppers. That issue placed his residence in Flushing, New York. Korsing was a frequent advertiser in Coin World during the early 1970s. Sources including Ancestry.com suggest that Korsing was born on February 24, 1941, and that he died on April 10, 2008.
