One More from the Heritage ANA Auction

1858 Twenty Cent reeded edge specimen - SP63 - only six coins total graded by PCGS - PCGS pop 3/1. The reeded edged 1858 20 cent specimens are far scarcer than the plain edged ones. This one went cheap and I could not resist.

    Very nice coin and I suspect under appreciated.

    I manage money. I earn money. I save money .
    I give away money. I collect money.
    I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.

    Thank you Bosox.
    I guess this coin is the "permanent dream about" coin for many /most large Cent c collectors (save the 1859 Brass)

    Both of these coins are rarer than the brass 1859 cent.

    As a relatively new canadian decimal coin collector I found your website to be an incredible aid to advancing my knowledge. Rob, thank you so much for providing the links and sound advice.

    Thanks. I am slowly working on redesigning the website. The new site will use better photos of my collection to illustrate the different large cent varieties. I hope to go live with the new site in a few months.

    Meanwhile I am finishing up a manuscript on large cent patterns, trials and specimens. I hope to have the book published early next year.

    Are YOU going to publish it yourself, like the others or are you contracting it out? I remember how much fun you had with the others (joke!)
