I took a close look at my 1816 cent today, but it is so grubby I can't really see the markers very well. It's porous and I'm wondering if it could actually be a counterfeit. I've all but given up taking photos of my items. Thought I had a handle on it a couple of years ago, but no.

@ burfie - I dont recall having seen that one before. thats certainly an interesting one. have you worked out the source dies?

for anyone looking at burfies coin you can tell its not a legit 1816 by comparing the positions of the leaves under the D uniteD and S in stateS to the examples I provided. star 6 (counting clockwise starting at the left) is also to the right of the coronet tip and that is a feature that isn't on any of the 1816 varieties.

@ bump111 - there are plenty of variations I didnt mention. I will frequently end up noticing unlisted variations and using them for identification. the date positions vary a decent bit and can be used to narrow it down. all the letters on the back are individually punched into each die so their positions are unique on each die (even when they are pretty similar).

that one is pretty frightening. I can see myself buying that at a coin show without thinking much of it. the aging on it is quite convincing.
