whatdowehavehere Valued Member Canada 235 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 5:22 pm Thoughts? Supposedly it's a 1798 S-161. It has choppy tooled lettering, bad jawline and throat, "diebreaks" where they don't exist, etc. https://coins.ha.com/itm/large-cent...ption-071515 * Edited by Staff to clarify topic title.

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 2523 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 5:26 pm Heritage and NGC are two very reputable and respected companies. IMO, it's highly unlikely they both missed a fake. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 67585 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 6:25 pm I'd have to agree. Report this Post to the Staff
whatdowehavehere Valued Member Canada 235 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 6:29 pm It has diebreaks on the reverse, as well as a double-cut fraction bar, the big lump on top of the D in United, none of which appear on a genuine S-161. The filled A in STATES is laughable. There are some coins in holders, such as a particular 1806 C-1 Half Cent, which are well-known to be fake and in 3PG holders Edited by whatdowehavehere 12/05/2021 7:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 1513 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 8:59 pm I agree this coin looks strange. But corrosion sure can do a lot to change a coin's appearance. I think this deserves a second look, but nothing screams counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
whatdowehavehere Valued Member Canada 235 Posts	Posted 12/07/2021 1:36 pm The chin is not a Draped Bust large cent device; it's been totally re-engraved in the die. The left ribbon end has a big bite taken out of it, and there is a die break seen from the D of United, across the two leaf tops, and then to the berry, with s a matching break under it. Neither are found in any die state on a genuine 1798 S-161 Edited by whatdowehavehere 12/07/2021 1:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
