solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 05/19/2013 7:06 pm Why would someone change the date? Is the year they changed to worth more money? Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 05/19/2013 7:15 pm 1799 is the key for date colecting. This date has been "manufactured" pretty much since people have been collecting U.S. Cents. Dr. Sheldon had this to say," Second in fun only to the practice of selling genuine 1799s to collectors at high prices, is that of selling altered date, mutilated,or fake 1799s, of which there are a large number in numismatic circulation...".

solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 05/19/2013 7:19 pm Thanks very much! I feel like buying one now. But graded by PCGS or NGC. Report this Post to the Staff

solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 05/19/2013 7:28 pm Really? I thought they were heavy faked? I meant a Flowing Hair Large Cent. I had to search ebay to make sure. (the type of coin I speaking about) Report this Post to the Staff
Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 01:52 am If you collect large cents, then you should be able to tell a fake from a real coin pretty easily. Even the 7 looks bunk on this coin. My guess is someone was practicing. Report this Post to the Staff
