<p>[QUOTE="FE21, post: 1581188, member: 41686"]I was searching through a dealers GIANT junk box (probably several thousand coins), when I came across a very well worn large cent. The dealer had marked it "1833" (the date is barely legible), but I knew it was one of the early types I never paid attention to in my Redbook. So, I picked her up. When I compared the type with the one in my Redbook, it fitted the Draped Bust Cent picture! I used very many different types of lighting to make out an "1803". What I think happened (by forensic analysis of the writing on the 2x2 I bought it in) was dealer 1 saw the type, but couldn't make out the date, so he marked it "18--". Dealer 2 thought he saw the date, but didn't pay attention to the type, and thus crossed out dealer 1's and wrote "1833". I would like to know the die variety, but it's so worn... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
