vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 01/01/2015 9:32 pm Who would bid on this extremely rare coin based on those photos? I would not touch this coin unless certified by one of the big three. These bidders are crazy. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
usc96 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 01/01/2015 9:48 pm How about this one for $19,449? Check out the reverse and tell me what you think is going on between the E and N in CENT? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1856-1C-FLY...111561714807 Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 01/01/2015 9:59 pm His credentials are off the chart. It's legit if that's what your asking..I have no doubt. Not sure if that's damage or what. Larger, sharper images needed. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
usc96 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 01/01/2015 10:04 pm Don't know if that was a sarcastic response about the seller OP was referencing! or the seller in my link? I am not questioning the seller's bonafides in my question, I am only asking what is going on with the reverse of the coin? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1856-1C-FLY...111561714807 Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 01/01/2015 10:07 pm Seller in your link. No sarcasm intended. As for the reverse, again, not clear enough to tell. Almost looks like a scrape. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 01/01/2015 10:25 pm Would you let your sister date anyone that would purposely display a coin like that? I don't think so! Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 08:35 am Whatever is going on with the reverse of that coin; I wouldn't pay $19,500 looking like that. Tony Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 09:55 am It's post strike damage. If this was a common coin it would have gotten a details label, but it's an 1856 so it was ignored. Kind of like how the Dexter specimen of the 1804 dollar with a D punched into the reverse got slabbed as a PF-65. Report this Post to the Staff
