penngrovetrading New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/24/2026 4:42 pm This was one of those cases where I really wanted it to be true too. The pricing for the entire album was just too good, but the seller provided low quality photos in the listing, with no real images of the key dates. I'm still on the hunt. Why did Whitman decided to put a hole in the IHC album for 1856 anyway? It's so obscure, no one would keep a quality raw example in it. Report this Post to the Staff
RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1028 Posts	Posted 08/24/2026 5:09 pm Definitely fake....good luck finding one! Why would Whitman have a hole for the 1856? Whitman has been around much longer than any of the grading companies! I am certain that many 1856 FECs used to reside in folders. When the TPGs popped up, these coins migrated quickly into holders as there are so many counterfeits, such as the one posted above. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 193975 Posts	Posted 08/24/2026 5:27 pm Yes, way back, someone who had the coin would be upset of there were not a place for it.
