baker123 New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 08/23/2015 6:37 pm I have an 1835 Half Cent with the "1" missing in the date, and was wondering what might have caused it and how to label it. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4420 Posts	Posted 08/24/2015 2:28 pm I'm wondering if the 1 in the date was "professionally" removed. Why would someone do this? Perhaps, it was done to create an 1831 dated Half Cent. Just a thought .... Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 08/26/2015 5:23 pm Grease filled die, not all that common where a complete digit is filled in with grease, I have various 2 cent pieces that show this characteristic. Neat a worth maybe a small premium to a variety collector. In this photo the 1 in the date shows up more than it does in hand, due to my lighting. I also have a bunch with all or partial letters missing on the reverse. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Please don't do it in titles or posts. * This coin looks altered to me you can see scratch marks where it was removed someone tried to make it look like it was Struck Through Grease Report this Post to the Staff
