    I have an 1834 with the same alteration, in the date set on the back of my Holey Coin Vest (sewed on obverse-out, though).

    They sure were naughty back in the 19th century, weren't they? image

    These are collected by the same folks who go for the "Potty Dollar" Trade dollars and the "Flying Eagle/Flying Phallus" cents. It's worth a small premium to some.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    For my pessimistic moods, I want one that says "ONE CAN'T". I think it would console me.
