It&#039;s a 1798 altered to look like a 1799. You can compare it to these:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/s188.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/s188.jpg" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #800080">http://www.largecents.net/collection/coinpics/s188.jpg</span></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://coinfacts.com/large_cents/draped_bust_large_cents/1799_large_cents/1799_large_cent_s189.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coinfacts.com/large_cents/draped_bust_large_cents/1799_large_cents/1799_large_cent_s189.htm" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #800080">http://coinfacts.com/large_cents/draped_bust_large_cents/1799_large_cents/1799_large_cent_s189.htm</span></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On the obverse, the date is wrong and LIBERTY is wrong (E is centered in the dip/droop of hairline) and on the reverse, the fraction is too high and the stems are wrong.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I conferred with Tom Deck that it isn&#039;t a 1799, since he knows these better than I, although I&#039;m getting pretty good with them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: The seller has been well informed it isn&#039;t a 1799 so feel free to report it to Ebay.&nbsp; :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
