I saw a thread from MS70 about his 1858 H10 Inverted Date and replied that I would like to add an "Inverted Date" to my Variety collection, but that spot (Half Dime (stars) is already filled with a nice 1845 H10C RPD) so I was looking for other inverted dates, so far I have found the 1844/81 and 1851/81 N-3 Braided Hair Large Cents, but I am certain that there are others...do you know of any that are obtainable without breaking the bank?

    The 1865-S $10 with inverted date is actually the common variety for the year, but neither is cheap. Go with one of the large cents.

    There are a few coins from the 1830's with just the 3 over an inverted 3.

    One of the rarest inverted dates is the 1852 over inverted date 3c silver. PCGS has certified only 2 coins of this rare variety, a VF-35 and a VG-10, both of which I found several years ago.

    I gotta believe it was not a good day for the guy who did the punches when they had to 'fess up to the engraver that they screwed up the date.
