<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1211324, member: 22729&quot;]I agree with the fact that it&#039;s probably an altered 1845, but my question is why and when. Looking at the pic at least makes it look like it was done many years ago, as the color around the date matches the rest of the coin. It could be that someone altered the date to commemorate their birth year, and then carried it as a pocket piece. The heavy wear is similar to what&#039;s normally found on a pocket piece. Very interesting coin Joshark, thanks for posting it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
