<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26251963, member: 101855&quot;]Your coin looks good, but don’t assume it’s real because of the date. The crooks can create other dates as well. One of the early Chinese creations was a complete set of counterfeit Seated Dollars housed in a counterfeit Dansco album. If you knew what the dates looked like on the real thing, you would have spotted the counterfeits immediately, but they all had different dates and mint marks.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, the 1805 half cent is scarcer than the 1806 and 1804, which is the most common date in the entire half cent series. Your piece is an 1805 C-1, with the stemless wreath, which is most common of the four 1805 varieties. Believe it or not that stemless wreath die was used for the most common varieties of 1804, 1805 and 1806 half cents. It was one tough customer![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
