Date: 1794The host S-63 has VG8 sharpness, strongest on the obverse, but there is fine to moderate roughness on both sides. Slightly glossy chocolate brown with some dull contact marks at the rim on the reverse. The date was skillfully altered to "1793" and LIBERTY was strengthened. The alteration is suggestive of the work seen on the popular "Smith" counterfeits that were 1794 cents altered to 1793. A nice conversation piece but a poor substitute for a 1793 large cent or even a 1794 S-63 at this point.Ex Shawn A. Yancey, 2014 EAC Sale 5/3/2014:83-Erik Schneckloth Collection (lot ticket included)
