This is degrading to US coinage and something I wouldn't laugh over. Call me an arrogant old fart - but I don't like it.

It was probably done before any of us were even born, whippersnapper ...the carving, not necessarily the counterstamp. Would you change your view if it were discovered to have been dallied with outside of Gettysburg during the civil war, or while on a wagon covering the great expanse to Oregon, or in a trench in 1916? People have dallied with coins forever. This is just another.

Wow it's an 1856 with an upside down 8. I'm sure Eagle Eye will be dying to Photo Seal that one!

Had me fooled until I noticed the 8 was upside down.

It's the rare upside-down "8" variety and should be worth a big premium from a specialist!
