  I've got one of those around here somewhere. Maybe it would be a good coin for a giveaway. Always a big hit at a NOW convention.

  "Have a nice day!"

  I can't open that at work, but I think I can guess what it's about. Didn't one of those alterations make it into a top slab? I'm pretty sure there was a discussion about it on the boards here but it was quite a while ago.

  New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

  It always seems funny to me that there was such disregard for decency before I was around.
  
  I always thought I started it

  Yes, it was an off-center late date large cent in a PCGS holder. I have a copy of the picture of the slab but not where I can link it. If anyone wants to see it I can send an email of it.
  
  I have owned several f these and at one time considered tryin to put together as many different dates as I could find with that alteration. I also have a nice AU 1835 half cent with the alteration.
