bradljr0046 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/20/2015 1:41 pm So I am relatively new to coin collecting. A circumstance presented itself to buy this coin for cheap so I did before fully scrutinizing the details in the light. Upon observation it is an 1802 Draped Bust cent with a noticeable typo, spelling "LIBERTY" as "LIBRETY" I would like to know if anyone may have some information on this coin, particularly whether this error impacts the value or if it's indicative of being counterfeit. Thanks for takin a look! -Josh Report this Post to the Staff

bradljr0046 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/20/2015 5:36 pm Not a problem, I am unfortunately limited by the quality of my phone's camera but I hope it's good enough for yall to make it all out. It's quite a well worn coin to start off with and the lettering on the obverse is pretty faint. I had to take a bunch of pictures to show it under different light Report this Post to the Staff

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 10/20/2015 8:20 pm I was thinking tooled also at first...may actually just be Pareidolia caused by the extreme porosity/corrosion. Report this Post to the Staff
