<p>[QUOTE="halfcent1793, post: 4036814, member: 86853"]A couple of comments. First, there is now a collection in Texas that has all of the business strikes, making it the second complete business strike collection. It was amazing to me that both of the Cohen 1796 no-poles were determined to be copies of the same coin. They don't even appear to be in the same grade and were graded differently in the catalog. Also, there are still some who think Cohen knew his no-poles were fake, but his widow ended up refunding the money to one of the buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the notion that the 1825 date is scarce but the variety common, that is exactly backwards. As a date, I estimated that there are about 4500 survivors, but only about 450 of those are the illustrated variety (C-1, 1-A). Interestingly, as a date, 1825 is equally common as 1826, including in higher grades. This has been known for about 20 years, but the price guides continue to list 1825 as significantly more expensive. The price differential makes no sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
