Message:: [QUOTE="Searcher64, post: 1517176, member: 21828"]Could you tell us what it cost you? If it's what I think it is. It's a 1856d : value would be about retail [red book] ef+++$12000.00, Numismatic News has a value of ef $12500.00. Down here the guys hold on to the the gold and silver for three day and send all to the smelters. I asked if I could see some and they would not. I asked if they knew anything about coins and they said no. They just want to turn the metal over as soon as possible. No telling how many great coins are being done away with. Some of the late issues will be more valuable, because of so much that have been done away with. The true numbers will never be known now. Great find. The coin is worth more than a EF++. I looked at the first pictures only, now I see the second set of pictures,it's not a "D". Still a nice coin.[/QUOTE]
