<p>[QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 3535281, member: 43130"]I thought just by the appearance, not having looked at Sheldon numbers, that the second 9 was "off." The coin is in a lot of large cents and half cents on eBay, listed as a 1798 in the title with no other information. I'm guessing the seller listed it as a 1798 because he knew it was altered, and either 1. Didn't want it removed by eBay. And or 2. Hope's that buyers assume he made a listing mistake and he'll score big time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
