Amazon99 Pillar of the Community United States 2443 Posts	Posted 12/20/2008 6:45 pm Wow! That person was lucky and that's such a cool coin. If I was at that auction I would have figured it was plugged. Report this Post to the Staff

"I actually showed it to a local coin dealer who said, 'No, no that's nothing,'" he recalled. It's good to trust your instincts. What a find...I remember reading this pattern was an idea proposed by Jefferson to reduce the size of the cent, but it was deemed too labor-intensive.

WpgLwr Pillar of the Community Canada 1082 Posts	Posted 12/21/2008 2:22 pm This is the part that really bugs me: "I actually showed it to a local coin dealer who said, 'No, no that's nothing,'" he recalled. I'm sure we've all been to dealers like that, though. Report this Post to the Staff

At shows, I'll sometimes tell a dealer if he has an IHC, FE or Canadian variety (if I'm not buying). Often I'll get this skeptical "who are you...?" look; it's amusing. Report this Post to the Staff

What's the point. Just send it to ANACS or NCS and be done with it. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
