They are possible, but very hard to replicate. They have a very distinct look to them and the patina (because of the copper) has a natural aged look. A trained eye will be able to distinguish between a genuine and counterfeit (Look up “Large Cent blank planchet” on Google, you’ll see what I mean)

The size of the planchet. Early 1800’s cents were about the size of current day half dollars

I am aware of this, I have handled my fair share of circulated proof coins. What I’m saying is hairlines are present in those examples as they get mishandled, wiped, touched, etc. There isn’t even a fingerprint on this coin. The only damage is two small dings on the reverse, giving it a PR64 designation

It’s a “proof” meaning they were made for coin collectors. Back then, they would have been shipped directly from the Mint to the buyer in a velvet box

The reason it got a 64 is because of 2 dings on the reverse of the coin, most likely from it being dropped, but I highly doubt it was ever circulated since there are no hairlines visible by the naked eye

Legally, yes. I could spend this today if I wanted to, although it would be a bad idea since it’s worth more than face value

Better view of the quarter

They have collector value, if you get a blank cent planchet from the early 1800’s, they can easily go for $200

These are known as blank planchets, worth around $1 - $2 each
