burfle23 Pillar of the Community United States 517 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 07:52 am My thoughts are one, someone wants a bad 1799 for some reason or two, bidders didn't believe the TPG. Listing was removed after spirited bidding and a lot of time left: 2 obverses for genuine 1799 large cents: And this one isn't one of them! Body bag and NGC's cert: Report this Post to the Staff

burfle23 Pillar of the Community United States 517 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 08:33 am Not a lot to go on but may be an altered 1798 S-179; often used to mimic a 1799... Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 12:30 pm The bidders on the coin are looking for an inexpensive1799 hole filler, and it appears that they are fine with a altered date that is a genuine Draped Bust Cent. Does NGC handle a counterfeits the same way as an altered date by taking the photovisionplus photo, listing the counterfeit in the cert look up? Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 1:07 pm Seems like an expensive way to fake-fill a hole but maybe. Bidders too dumb to read the listing, bidders thinking NGC is wrong, or people looking to cash in by scamming someone else with it. Knowing ebay I suspect the latter. Report this Post to the Staff
