This large cent has so much character and its not a horrible date change either. I was miffed to be the underbidder on this one. Do yall think I missed out on a goodie? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1798-draped-bust-large-cent-dated-1799-No-reserve/114177463626?hash=item1a9581d54a:g:5qoAAOSwBVZejUIq
That central punch mark sort of kills it for me. I don't think it's a "Chinese chop mark" either, although I'm not an expert on those.
There was another altered date 1799 that sold for crazy money a few weeks back, even though it was sold as an altered date.
