[QUOTE="Jack D. Young, post: 4905610, member: 93371"]Thank you for the response Conder101! I just saw this post so a late response by me. As John noted we have seen decent ones back to 2007/2008 with a series of large cent fakes based on the 1833 N-5 variety (John warned EAC members back when these 1st hit), BUT these used a genuine source coin to start and then they changed the dates to create the "family"- you can still buy them from China and they are what I have called a mid-level counterfeit in terms of being deceptive.
