OK, I'm not bidding! It also has an 'S' mintmark, not sure how he got the idea it's a CC. (It's a fake-- has a bad case of 'dentalis vestigialis'
Yeah, I never really thought their prices were "wholesale!"
Russ has 3 high grade large cents up for auction- I think all are MS66? could be a heck of a buy for a type set!
