At $79 for a lot of 10, this seller is making a tidy profit, I'd think. They may well be "aged" for the purpose of subsequent transactions.

Classic Coins Pillar of the Community United States 940 Posts	Posted 07/31/2015 10:06 am I think the buyer of these (from ebay) would have to put forth quite an effort to pass off one of these as an authentic 1794 cent, and he would end up not recovering his cost in the long run.

Wear one of these down some and artificially age and "distress" it a little and I would bet they could probably easily sell them to the unknowledgeable for $100 or more each. Buy ten fakes for $79 and sell 10 "1794 large cent, I don't know much about these" for $1000. Yeah I think he'll recover his costs. Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3347 Posts	Posted 07/31/2015 1:00 pm Here's the target customer They'll look nice next to the uncirculated 1795 half. But since they're pennies they'll probably have to price them below $95 "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
