HOWEVER...it does have some characteristics of a 1858...did the 1888 have a missing vine next to the "C" in cents? Sure does look like the outline of a 8 though  |

No disagreement from me.
This is an example of how NOT to look at a coin. When I first took a look I did not see the remains of any digit. But, after reading the text I returned and I saw the outline.
Ahem. His coins MAY have been cleaned but not by him?
Using a German bank but listing in British Columbia?
All signs point to ... PASS! REPORT! MOVE ON.

If everyone was honest we wouldn't have these issues but there are those out there trying to scam and make a quick buck. I personally want to thank artdio and everyone else for trying to keep things safe for all of us.  |
