    not likely an 1856. Probally more on the lines of an 1858 .. And anyhow how do we know if it is even a real coin it could be a copy with the copy worn off image

    I like how he says he found the coin in a closet!!!

    I usually find coins worth thousands of dollars just hanging out in a closet too. Just yesterday I found an 1895 Morgan, a couple of 1907 HR $20 double eagles and an 1804$...all just laying around in a closet!!image
    Buy the coin, not the holder!

    Yeah, me too. Recently, I found a 1933 Double Eagle, in very mint condition. But thinking it was a copy, I sold to some guy from Sotheby's. Wonder what happened to it?!

    As you mention Goose it's a 58 SL -- the space between the A & M of AMERICA, the distance between the last A from the tail feathers...

    that's what I was waiting for someone to notice!
    I emailed the seller this note last night right after it showed up on ebay.......

    "just a quick polite note.
    the coin is an 1858 Small Lettered Cent.
    Look at some of them on ebay and compare. Specifically the word AMERICA. The base of the A and M do not touch at all, which is a giveaway that it is a '58 small letters. Look on my "ME" page and you will see a real one to compare the lettering to.
    take care."

    lets see what happens... wow just got a note back.......

    "Thanks for the info, I updated the auction with the info you provided, other than what somebody is will to pay; can you help me with what the coin maybe worth."

    I suggested he cancel the one bid and relist it, titleing it properly so someone doesn't get overzealous and bid without reading his addendum.
