Prebidding on this coin is strong. Will be VERY interesting to see what it sells for. Finest known S3 at PCGS. Same coin sold last year at FUN for $103,500.

Any guesses on the final price, with juice??

    Title edited to reflect the new price - wow! Great short-term (1 yr) speculation. Once the live bidding begins, I'm guessing at least 150K!image

    Umm... lemme guess...

    TOO MUCH?

    Incredible coin, though.

    Lets see... Heritage asks for one fifth down ( $150,000 / 5 = $30,000 ) Balance = $120,000 / 6 months=
    $20,000 per month. Sounds like a deal. I'd have to sell my Standing Liberty Quarter collection, and my Early Commemorative set to do it. ...........NAH !!!

    I was sort of surprised to see the variety of 1856 FE's for sale in the auctions -- not to mention seeing this one up for sale again. Seeing the pictures didn't help me figure out the proof vs. mint state issues I have either. I'm going to take a good look at them in person and see if that helps.

    That 1856 cent is a great coin! I remember when it was available for a lot less $.

    It will do quite well. It will definitely beat the record price.

    The 1856 FE cent below is the collectors version of the 1856 FE cent. Equipped with a punch test mark! Sold for $4370 in 2001.
