I saw a VG-8 at a show once, selling for about $49000.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, an unusually high amount of coins are graded AU or higher. This would suggest that they were saved by collectors, but in that case there would be more than 50-60 coins around.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is possible that they met a similar fate to the 1876-CC 20¢, most of them being melted?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
