What are the chances this is an actual 1804 cent?

Counterstamped with an 1804, but cleaned and damaged to hell. What are the chances the actual host coin was an 1804? Is it too damaged to identify the die characteristics of an 1804?

Seriously?
Zero.
Two chances: slim and none.
Are there any large cent experts here who can identify this coin based on the Sheldon variety or is there not enough detail remaining on the coin?

Slim and none. And Slim don't work here no more.
Looks like a 1800.

LOL
The 1804 is only known as an S266, with three major die states.
There is more than enough detail on the reverse to tell me it’s not even close to being an 1804.
As to what it really is, I don’t have the patience to figure it out.
Genuine 1804 reverse:
Zero. If it were real in would unattainable by now.
Well it definitely has a clear date

Definitely a repunched date though.

It would be slim if you got a green bean with it, just saying
Rabies tag
how about this die marriage?
I would rather join with an army of sheep led by a lion, than an army of lions led by sheep.
That's really funny, I would buy that.

Some needed an 1804 for their album and couldn't afford a real one, so they made their own to fill the need to till the hole in the album.
