<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 757751, member: 2972&quot;]On second thought....</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is being discussed in the EAC yahoo group.&nbsp; Here&#039;s the latest response:</p><p><br /></p><p>&gt; I hope no one is bidding on this altered 1804 C-6 for the intent of acquiring a &quot;RARE 1805 Small 5** w/ Stems KEY Variety F Fine&quot; (Seller&#039;s title - not mine). </p><p>&gt; </p><p>&gt; The 4 has been ground off and a nice-looking small 5 attached. The reverse is absolutely that of an 1804 C-6 - probably early die state, but with all the abrasion tell-tale markings in the diagnostic areas, it might be a later state. Pretty obvious IF you have a half cent reference book like Breen or Manley.</p><p>&gt; </p><p>&gt; Seller states it is real and 100% genuine...I am not disputing that statement - it is a real 1804 C-6, altered to appear to be a tough 1805 variety.</p><p>&gt; </p><p>&gt; Buck</p><p>&gt; EAC 3086</p><p>&gt;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Having dug out Breen, I&#039;m sticking by my guns, I think the coin is genuine/altered not fake/countefeit....Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
