Hi! I have this beautiful 1848 large cent. The Red Book says the 1848 large cent is counterfeit. You know I'm a noobie so I would appreciate any opinions on this coin. Did they not mint 1848s? How would you grade it?
Thanks guys. I looked at the Red Book again and I guess the (c) just alerts people that there are counterfeits out there but the prices listed are for genuine. I had been thinking the price was FOR counterfeit. (Noob trying to learn)
The 1848 small date counterfeit is worth a LOT more than the genuine coins. The Dan Holmes collection had three of them a VG-8, a VG-10, and an AU-53. They brought $3,190 $5,750 and $7,188 respectively.
