A lot of money for this set especially with the poor pictures. I am however 99% certain the Small motto is a fake I have my doubts about the 1872 as well but not so sure on that. What say you?

Eeep. That seller has always given me the willies; I wouldn't touch this one. He's far too experienced not to hype the important members of that collection - since he isn't, I'm scared.

As for the authenticity, I haven't a clue. I have never even looked at Two Cent Pieces.

Though for the seller, I have to say, I have used them a number of times and was very impressed. They have given me almost extraordinary discounts on the "make an offer" option. Never have we not been able to come to terms on a price. Shipping is top notch. Only once was there a delay and they ended up overnighting it to me. From the emails I have had with them, they seem like really nice people. If you haven't bought from them before, even if you don't buy this item, I say give them a chance. And for sure use the "make an offer' option. I think you will be pleasantly suprised.

I sent him a message asking about the small motto but no reply. Based on the pictures and assuming the set is all real its worth about half his buy it now which is why I guess he has a lot of wiggle room for his make an offer.
The more I look at the 72 the more I am concerned about it.

It is quite possible it is a fake, I'm not saying I date the guy. Just in my experience he has been stand up. Though if it is a fake it should be removed. Maybe someone should shoot an email for clarification.
