<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pete Doelger, post: 5206851, member: 116475&quot;]messydesk -</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Many thanks for the info. I did find it in the Kosoff 11/1985 auction. It was lot #1151. Described as J-1621. Possibly unique - very heavily oxidized and corroded. No image, as clear photography was not possible.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; It was listed in the auction as weighing 298.6 grains. My piece weighs 23.6 grams. Does not seem to match up per weight, although the description seems to be identical.&nbsp; The original collection this piece was in contained many 19th century Proof pieces. I valued it at $100M+ </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Very strange. Don&#039;t know why someone would attempt to counterfeit a known unique piece.&nbsp; Do you have any references regarding the sale by Kosoff in 1955? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again - Pete[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
