Altered 1845 to 1815 Large Cent
Large Cents "1815" Cent altered from an 1845 Newcomb-2. VG8. <b>Sharpness F12 with some marks on both sides, including dull dents at the top and bottom of the reverse rim. Rather glossy dark chocolate brown. The 4 was altered into a 1 to create an 1815 date. The alteration was skillfully done, and the wear and old crud indicate this cent saw extensive circulation following the alteration.</b> <p align="center">Superior Galleries was founded in 1929 and has been a leader in
