    I was thinking that the Strawberry Leaf was one of the handful of pieces misssing. I think there were three Sheldons and the NCs missing from the collection.

    Didn't see one at the preview. But given the quality of everything else, it's hard to complain. image

    If there was one in that set, it would have surely been posted here by me or a EAC guy.

    I remember when the last one hit the auction block and just blew my mind for the price it got.

    Me too - I thought it went cheap.

    That was one of my favorite JK cataloguing job, part of ANR's Frog Run Farm Collection. It did set a record at the time at $414,000 (if I remember correctly)....

    While we're on the subject, isn't there a theory that the Strawberry Leaf cents were contemporary counterfeits?

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Wow! What brought the thread back to life?


    To answer your question: yes, there is a school of thought that believes that the leaves and edging were engraved into each coin after they left the mint.

    I myself don't believe it. I hope to be the one who finds an uncirculated specimen of this coin.

    Type "strawberry" into the searchbar and you'll see alot of info on this coin.
