Hi. Take a look at
https://help.libreoffice.org/3.6/Calc/Date_and_Time_Functions
To me the difference you are getting looks close to the difference
between the date bases for day zero.

OK following up on the suggestions.
First the user profile page linked to doesn't exist so I can't try that.
I upgraded my system to the latest LibreOffice in case that was a problem am
running 3.6.6.2 (Build ID: f969faf)
All data was originally created on the same machine in the US locale not
changed.
I have tried all subsets of paste special I can think of.
I tried setting the format of the cells to number general. Copied those, pasted
into a new spreadsheet, The numbers did not change at all. But when I then set
the format to date the dates are not the same and are incorrect.
Tried the copy within the sheet where the dates are correct and it works
properly
Tried a select of the dates where they are correct. get a brand new blank
spreadsheet, paste the dates. They are incorrect
Tried copy of the dates after they have been changed to format as numbers
create a brand new spreadsheet paste verify the numbers are the same change the
format to date and then the dates are incorrect.
I'd be glad to send the info to anyone else to se if they can figure it out.
Not sure how or where to upload a file though

and the data is entered as a date but they have all changed what was
05/08/2005 in one sheep has become 05/09/2001 in the second sheet!
without knowing the reasons of your problem, and in addition what Brian
wrote, you could try the following:
As dates are represented internally by (integer) numbers, please select
the cells containing the dates before you copy them, and set the cell
format to "standard". Then all dates should turn into numbers.
What happens if you copy&paste those numbers to your new spreadsheet?
Do the numbers change?
If not, you can then select the target cells and format them as date -
and see if they are correct now.
