[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 538891, member: 12965"]After looking at several thousand DBC's, a DBHC sticks out but there were some other tells: 1. The date placement is not right. 2. An 1804 DBC has a crosslet 4, that one doesn't. 3. Last, but not least, nothing matches up! That one was pretty much a no brainer for a DBC collector but many peeps selling DBC's aren't DBC collectors so they make mistakes. The most common mistake is getting the date wrong and sometimes, an attribution wrong, but on this one, the seller appears to be trying to swindle peeps, since Tom messaged them several days ago and told them it was a half-cent also. He referenced size, I referenced weight, so between us we killed it but it's still going strong so barring the seller being stranded on a desserted isle with no internet, I think it's intentional so that's why I asked for peeps to report it. ;) Thanks for reporting it! :thumb: Ribbit :)[/QUOTE]
