My bet is someone wanted to construct a 1804 but came to realize the futility https://www.ebay.com/itm/144532151948 Report this Post to the Staff

XRF should prove either way. I find it difficult to understand why anyone would want to alter the date on an 1803 Dollar, despite the obvious value of the famous 1804 date.

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 05/20/2022 10:40 am I wonder if it was used as a source coin for counterfeits. Someone could make dies for 1800, 01, 02 and 03 out of it in addition to 1804. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 05/20/2022 8:13 pm Listing is gone now. Seems odd, it didn't violate any rules that I could see. Edit: Hmm, I didn't notice before but it appears to have been cracked out, since the label is free. Maybe that's the issue. Edited by kbbpll 05/20/2022 8:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
