I've had this priceless two headed treasure since the day I found it, about 50 years ago.
Never won anything with it, and it's still priceless.

That is soooo cool. Nice little "age" hole in it.

What's it made of?

*update*

Yesterday I sent the coin to NGC to be authenticated/graded. I will update this post when I have more information.

I received the coin back from NGC today. Unfortunately, they deemed it "not suitable for certification". They did authenticate it, but did not give a variety distinction. So...what is the next step? Do I send it to a different company and hope they certify it, or cut my losses and enjoy knowing I have a unique but badly worn coin?

NGC doesn't think the coin is real, sell it on ebay as a cool token.

ICCS will certify it, and probably give it a 'corroded' comment....

Does ICCS have a website? I am having problems finding any information on them. John100, NGC authenticated the coin as real, they just won't certify or grade it based on its condition. On the label they have "guaranteed authentic only".

I have a PDF of their submission form, but when I distill it down to <100 kb to post here, it is unreadable. Are you able to turn on your 'receive personal messages' option? I think you need 50 posts in order to send me a message...

To DEVLEC & Smallcentguy,
Re: 1858 with Coinage Orientation

You both commented that you know of two other 1858s graded EF-40. Can either of you respond where that info is gleaned from? Can you provide a link to me?
I have written to Charlton & Krause asking about grades of the 3 known certified 1858s, but they do not seem to know.

I have a 1858 with coinage alignment (VG-8 to F-12). My LCS sent it off to ICCS back in May and we are still waiting for ICCS response.
Yes, I feel very lucky, as I bid on a portfolio of Canadian one cent coins (1858 - 1968) and didn't realize the 1858 was coinage orientation until I got home, so I got supremely lucky.

I have been trying so hard to find out about the other 3 certified coins, and also to determine how coinsandcanada.com come up with their valuations for all the grades of these 1858s. They only show two known sales of 1858s, one is F-12 damaged ($1,250), the other F-15 corrosion ($142).

Hope you are still active on this site
