<p>[QUOTE="Bill in Burl, post: 1419831, member: 23692"]Under the Vicky section, the "lowest minted" and "rarest variety" are wrong. Those two that are listed are for 5 cent silvers, not the large cents. If you got it from Krause, then they are wrong as well. However, the 1859 is right (actually the figure is a little les, because there are more 1858's minted that all the books have wrong.... it's not 421,000 .. probably about a million or a little less more than that. By far, the scarcest and most expensive is the 1859 brass .. there should be auction records .. I think only 4-5 known and the best example is not much more than VG in collector's hands, but the mint in Ottawa has a relatively pristine example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
