<p>[QUOTE="hhearst, post: 18112, member: 777"]This may or may not have anything to do with this coin, but I went to this person's web site and found some interesting info. I live in the same area and the person has a story about an auction they attended in which they obtained the coins. The aucton was the Dr. Carleton Montgomery Cornell Collection and was held on Friday, May 21, 2004, at 2:00 PM. I went to the auction preview in Portsmouth NH, but I did not stay for the bidding. My experience with New England auctions is that they are very competitive with sleepers very few and far between. Anyway, the auction was for an OUTSTANDING collection. I enjoyed looking at the coins, but I knew I would not get any. So, I took the auction program, wrote my max bid and later checked the results. I actually may have got some, so I was kicking myself later. Anyway, if the coin came from that auction, then it is very likely it is not doctored... FWIW. - Hal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
