Their one-cent specimen pricing is completely out of touch. I sent them an couple of emails a month ago to try to help them out, but they have apparently not believed the info I gave them or else they do not want my suggestions. It seems to me they believe Charlton pricing on these, which is also quite wrong. Charlton also lists specimen cents that do not exist and does not list others that do. C'est la vie. Their website, they can do what they want.
Many specimens, including most of the many examples sold over the past 18 months, change hands privately and do not show up in public auctions. I will take all the 1898-H cent specimens anyone has at three times their pricing info. Of course, you probably do not have any, since there are only 2 examples out there.
