Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 05/13/2015 02:46 am large cents weren't produced until 1793, so it must be fake or an altered date Report this Post to the Staff
publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 05/13/2015 03:04 am This is a "Liberty Parent of Science & Industry" pattern of 1792, which is the correct date, or else a fake of one. Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 05/13/2015 08:05 am This is a very bad copy of a Birch Cent. The Birch Cent was a pattern produced in 1792 by Robert Birch. Only a handful were ever made. There is no way that this is authentic in my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 05/13/2015 09:00 am While the OP's piece does appear to be a copy, it's not as bad as others I've seen. Here's an article about an original 1792 Birch Cent sold by Stacks: http://www.bellenews.com/2015/03/21...on-march-26/ Here's one that sold for $2.5 million in January! http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/...1-story.html Edited by ExoGuy 05/13/2015 09:04 am Report this Post to the Staff

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 05/13/2015 2:42 pm Interesting. Not a terribly bad copy, or whatever it is. Per RedBook only 9 patterns are known of the cent Without a Silver Center of the 1792 proposed coinage, of which this appears to be a copy. By comparing to images of known examples, there are differences in engraving and style, but wouldn't it be great if this was real? Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 05/13/2015 3:04 pm Uh, Fuzzy was spot on. Federal Large Cents were not produced until 1793. Before that, it was proposed patterns. This is a copy of the J-1 Silver Center Cent. It is not genuine unfortunately. Genuine: http://www.coinfacts.com/patterns/1..._judd_01.htm swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

jerseyben Pillar of the Community United States 1211 Posts	Posted 05/14/2015 09:03 am You guys are kidding right? He did not answer correctly. "large cents weren't produced until 1793, so it must be fake or an altered date" So just because it is dated earlier than 1793, it MUST BE A FAKE... THIS IS NOT AN ACCURATE STATEMENT. If you look at the pic, you can see that it is a copy of a 1792 pattern cent. My problem is the "if, then statement". Yes, it is a copy but it is not a "fake large cent" just because it is dated 1792. Report this Post to the Staff
