That's probably a fairly accurate shipping price IF (and that's a big if) the coin were to sell for that price. I know it costs me $10 to ship a $300 coin through USPS First Class Mail with insurance and signature confirmation (a requirement ebay has protect the seller). |

Apparently these are quite common. I once bought a lot of not so great cents and wouldn't you know, the only date I really needed from the bunch had it.

Is it a legitimate error? I mean, the monosyllable was not a word that was even publishable at the time and it doesn't seem like the kind of error that would happen.

Most certainly not an error or a prank by mint employees. That would have caused public outcry. Whether these were made by bored soldiers or schoolboys is a mystery. What's strange is that it's always on large cents, not other denominations or small cents.

If the pictures are a good guide, the "altercated" cent being offered even looks a bit smaller diameter than an authentic one.

While seen much less often I have seen this doe on indian head and even wheat cents. I have an AU 1835 Half Cent this has been done to. |

Does anyone want to accept the challenge of making an entire large cent set that only has these alterations?

I'm thinking it's been done; they're just not talking about it.  "Hey! Look at my new complete set! They all say...." Um, yeah, that'll go over well. |

Yeah, I showed one to my wife once. She just rolled her eyes and walked away.

I considered it at one time but then the supply kinda dried up. The most amazing one I ever saw was an 40% off-center AU 1854 large cent that it had been done to. And it was in a PCGS slab. Not a genuine slab either, this was before they had the Genuine slabs. It was an error slab though. The coin was supposed to have been bodybagged but it was put into a slab by mistake.
