coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/09/2021 6:47 pm Do you guys remember the cents with the altered letter in one of the devices? I'm not going to say the word. But I found out the reason they were altered. I'll put it delicately so the forum is still family friendly. They were sold as tokens for an entertainment venue, to pay for services rendered. I never even gave it a thought as to what they were used for. Now we know. Think about it a while, it will come to you. Report this Post to the Staff
whatdowehavehere Valued Member Canada 235 Posts	Posted 04/09/2021 6:59 pm @coop: that's an old favorite of Large Cent mutilationers. Whether or not that was the Intention; I'd say Probably Not. It was just an easy, "fresh" thing to do Edited by whatdowehavehere 04/09/2021 7:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/09/2021 7:02 pm Did you get what it was used for? I tried to be delicate with my descriptions. I would have never thought that in a thousand years. Another clue? One of the oldest professions. Edited by coop 04/09/2021 11:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
whatdowehavehere Valued Member Canada 235 Posts	Posted 04/09/2021 7:35 pm It's been about 50 years since I sold my first Large Cent; I can state with equanimity that I've never heard the explanation you did for those. Let's put it this way: if there were a concerted effort at output, as suggested by your source, then I think in all likelihood a counterstamp of the necessary letter would be used Edited by whatdowehavehere 04/09/2021 8:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/09/2021 8:11 pm I heard it on a coin video recently. Not that I watch that many of them. Just was amazed when I heard it. Report this Post to the Staff
