amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 10:47 pm Cograts! I like them! Always thought of this series as the "rebound relationship" series of U.S. cents. After a 64 year relationship with the large ladies and before we settled down with IHC's for 50 years. Report this Post to the Staff

VGRX Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 02/02/2013 11:17 pm Educate me on this. Why was this set so short and how does a coin that exists not count? Was the 1856 produced in the middle of the night and stolen out the back door? Report this Post to the Staff

No...that world be the 1913 Liberty nickel. Basically since Large cents had been used for so long the gubmint thought the citizens needed edumication when we switched to small cents. So as a result the pattern 1856 FEC was made in large enough numbers and given out to congressmen to teach the common folk. Edited by amida17 02/02/2013 11:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
