Had me going for a minute......

That is a nice coin. Although, the small version with the bird on it
is more valuable.

That's what I'm talkin' about!

MS63 BN?

mgoodm3 · January 19, 2007 1:57AM

What!, they made another 1856?

AmericanCopper · January 19, 2007 2:00AM

Very sweet coin, Mark...and the image is superb. I could use a copper fix myself about now. I'd venture that it's MS64 even discounting the planchet roughness.

PCGS gave it a 64. The die wear and roughness is much more obvious at magnification.

STONE · January 19, 2007 2:18AM

64 RB or BN?

Very nice no matter what they gave it.

mgoodm3 · January 19, 2007 2:19AM

Just BN, only some redish areas.

Too much spare time on your hands.

Wow nice find. There are no dull areas as the color seems to flow all the way across the coin.

Where did you happen to find this gem?

mgoodm3 · January 19, 2007 2:25AM

Just one of those Heritage "hope you are interpreting the images right" auction situations.

I honestly was going to say 64 after I thought the die wear may not have much to do with the final grade, but stuck to my guns. Better under grade then over grade.

Great Pictures and Coin.

Is there doubling on the reverse? "TES" of states?

123cents · January 19, 2007 3:13AM

Great coin but I was also thinking Flying Eagle Cent when I saw your post.

BlindedByEgo · January 19, 2007 3:15AM

I really like it.

I have a question, what is the black spotting by the stars? I ask because I have an 1856 MSRB in an OGH, that has two spots on the reverse that look just like that.
