People went gaga over the 1872 A/V 25 cents, paying up to $5000 to have one.
Ironically, the 1872 25c A/V is a die break, and while interesting and certainly rare, not sure I'd pay up to $5000 for a high end example.
I did get a G6 for $50 on ebay, and a VG for $70...while a well known dealer is trying to sell a VG right now for $4000.
The 1880 on the other hand is a REAL A/V with a nice straight crossbar. Ironically, I bought mine raw for the N/W 0, which was not labeled.
I had to get out my MS70 to get rid of the heavy toning in the V in VICTORIA once I caught a glimpse of it :).
I'm sending my best example to CCCS for hard slabbing, and another example for a soft holder.
