Here's what an 1843 Proof looks like: http://coins.ha.com/itm/large-cents...1213-30052.s Report this Post to the Staff
SteveCaruso Pillar of the Community United States 1796 Posts	Posted 01/16/2015 10:44 pm I love the "Only 3 of these proofs are known to exit[sic.]!!" And then "3 exit" but there are 6 product reviews. :-) I'm sure the mention of reviews are ebay's doing. It still cracks me up. Report this Post to the Staff
Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 01/16/2015 11:23 pm Descriptions like this are always a red flag. Quote: The last of these 1843 proofs (and only one sold publicly until now) sold at auction for $18,600. Probably not going to see another of these 1843 proofs as the others are close held in large collections. We got this coin at a price where we can pass the saving on to you but if it does no sell here it will be slabbed by NGC and sold at a classic auction.
