No idea here either, but a great thread.

COTW- your explanation would make sense if the line wasn't perfectly straight. Taking that into consideration, it seems like it was done intentionally.

I took the liberty of taking some zoomed-in pics from the Heritage site.    I noticed that on the first pic, the edge of the design seems indented rather than raised. Doesn't that seem counterintuitive if the line is raised? Something else to consider is that the line passes straight through two opposite points of the star, indicating that it may have been used as a reference for another part of the design. However, I was under the impression that the entire design was hubbed at that point in time (except for the date and MM, of course), so that doesn't make a lot of sense. Edited by Numisma

You can do the online auction. However, this will surely be many, many thousands of dollars.

Tremendous eye candy ... way out of my price range.
Knowing Heritage ... these will all find new homes.

That is a superb grouping of 1856-dated coins.

Anyone has an idea of how much this can be? because if it ain't as high as I think I could get a loan from my bank since I have pretty good credit

Well, the current bid is $36,000 and it sure isn't stopping there. I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Okay, the next time someone posts one of those "What would you buy if money were no object?" threads, remind me about this set. I think I just found a new love.  |
