neweden Valued Member Canada 272 Posts	Posted 10/31/2011 4:08 pm There are two varieties of this coin, a 1848 over 6 and a 1848 over 7 both with the same value. 586.000 were minted with the above varieties included.

harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 10:11 am Too bad the book doesn't go down that low on this coin...it's in pretty high demand. VG commands $250. Report this Post to the Staff
harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 1:00 pm Okay, found this specimen of the same date for comparison. In your opinion, which is more desireable? Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 1:15 pm The second coin is so harshly corroded/cleaned...versus yours which looks like normal wear. To me, your coin has more eye appeal. Report this Post to the Staff
harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 11/03/2011 1:26 pm Thanks for the feedback! I agree...the second coin is from an old ebay listing and went for 3x the price of mine! Report this Post to the Staff
harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 12/02/2013 4:15 pm Just a little update on this hard to find coin...This specimen just went for about $90 shipped on ebay. The date is stronger, but otherwise, the condition is very similar. Report this Post to the Staff
