[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 517527, member: 12965"]Howdy peeps, :) I have run across so many misattributed DBC's this week and I thought I'd share them with ya'll, to help show that you really MUST know what you are buying, since quite often the seller's don't have a clue. :goofer: Our first candidate is a 1796 S-166: [URL="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1796-Large-Cent-Fine_W0QQitemZ170299831553"]http://cgi.ebay.com/1796-Large-Cent-Fine_W0QQitemZ170299831553[/URL] There is no such thing as a 1796 S-166 but that's because it's a 1798 S-166 and the die crack on the reverse gives it away. Our next candidate is a 1801 S-254: [URL="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1801-Draped-Bust-Large-Cent-AG_W0QQitemZ180326050468"]http://cgi.ebay.com/1801-Draped-Bust-Large-Cent-AG_W0QQitemZ180326050468[/URL] As with the first one, there is no such thing as a 1801 S-254 and that's because this one is a 1803 S-254. Now, our next candidate is a counterfeit 1806: [URL="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1806-DRAPED-BUST-LARGE-POORLY-CLEANED-SK2_W0QQitemZ130286428416"]http://cgi.ebay.com/1806-DRAPED-BUST-LARGE-POORLY-CLEANED-SK2_W0QQitemZ130286428416[/URL] There is so much wrong with this one, that only someone that doesn't know them would buy it for more than $5. The clincher is the font of LIBERTY and the dimples on the base of the letters. :odd: Now, we have a 1799 S-166: [URL="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1799-DRAPED-BUST-LARGE-CENT-KEY-DATE-BOLD-CLEAR-DATE_W0QQitemZ250366888589"]http://cgi.ebay.com/1799-DRAPED-BUST-LARGE-CENT-KEY-DATE-BOLD-CLEAR-DATE_W0QQitemZ250366888589[/URL] You should recognize that reverse from the first one on this list and once it was explained to the seller, they ended the listing. ;) And for the last one for now, we have a 1799 unknown variety: [URL="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1799-Draped-Bust-Large-Cent-Very-RARE_W0QQitemZ270334272123"]http://cgi.ebay.com/1799-Draped-Bust-Large-Cent-Very-RARE_W0QQitemZ270334272123[/URL] I'm not sure which 1798 that one is, but it isn't a 1799 because the E in LIBERTY is dead center to the hair (above the dip) and the numerator in the fraction (the top 1) is way too high. Anyways, as is clearly evident, you really need to know what you are buying on Ebay because quite often, the sellers don't even know. :goofer: Ribbit :)[/QUOTE]
