I'd recommend not buying this one:

What a real 1822 obverse should look like (compare the date position...only one pair of dies was used for 1822 dimes):

    I saw that too and thought the last digit looked a little funny, but didn't bother checking the date position. It's a very good
    altered date IMO, and up to this point fooled me! Good detective work.
  • so what do you feel was the initial coin? an 1823/2 ?

    Wow! The position of both '1822' dates is drastically different.

    Good to know and thanks for the info.

    excellent. Seller must have received notice from a few people. He usually sells legit stuff, so maybe got duped on this one.

    He didn't reply to my message, but I'll take that, since he ended the listingimage Good catch!
  • What was the date originally?

    I'm no expert on the dimes, but that would be my guess.
