<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ben_Bovas, post: 3173, member: 476&quot;]The remarks made by National dealer are well taken. The pattern coins trade infrequently but there is a very enthusiastic and loyal community of collectors for such. Most of the major auction firms know who these folks are.</p><p><br /></p><p>Counterfeits are rare among patterns, but not completely unknown. Generally speaking, anything of significant value has been faked at one time or another. This is why it would be good to have the piece certified and graded by a top grading house, as suggested. It seems to me that it would be more likely for counterfeiters to target the 1856 FE cent, a highly desirable coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
