nickelsearcher Bedrock of the Community United States 13258 Posts	Posted 03/05/2023 05:17 am Congratulations on your Good to have you here with us. This is a contest that takes a large cent specialist to play with accuracy. We can however speculate based on general knowledge: I guess it was stuck over a foreign denomination of similar size and composition that was circulating in the US at the time. It could also have been a predecessor Colonial copper like the Massachusetts or Connecticut coins that appear here on occasion. That is more likely.

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5189 Posts	Posted 03/05/2023 09:02 am The size of the underlying ONE suggests a counterfeit struck over a braided hair large cent. Report this Post to the Staff
burfle23 Valued Member United States 482 Posts	Posted 03/05/2023 4:41 pm You guys are good! I wrote articles on it in both EAC's PW and Coin Week; XRF testing compared to a genuine mint product, which the over struck 1796 is certainly not! Report this Post to the Staff

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 2893 Posts	Posted 03/05/2023 11:04 pm Incredible story, and as was commented in your Coin Week article, how could this have been certified with the clear star in front of Liberty's face?!? Not to mention the fairly obvious "ONE CENT" in a different type face on the reverse.
