But then, he does call it "rare". Maybe it's that rare "8 looks like a 9" variety.

The seller just wants it to be an 8 so he can get more money for it. If you buy a key date, your going to want it to be the best you can afford and in that grade there's better examples where the date is intact and readable.

Don't forget that the seller states:


Quote:
Here is an 1858 Canadian large cent in G+/VG ( my opinion )


Just forget about the "in G+/VG".

I see it has been canceled due to an 'error' in the listing.
