RLC35 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Posted August 8, 2014 It's a copy ? Looks like the real thing to me You are right, Copper, it is the real thing. I didn't think how that sounded ( as above) when I wrote it! English was always my weakest subject! .....

That was two weeks ago, and he still has it for sale.BTW...every other dealer here in the states has one or two 1860's marked as mules...and they are not a mule! They don't let the truth get in the way of a good sale!

They don't let the truth get in the way of a good sale!I emailed at least 2 years ago about that same slab.... It's been in their monthly auctions all that time till it finally got moved to ebay....I have one slabbed just like it as well as a misattributed "with colon" variety (I forget if it's an 1841 or an 1843).... 1
Bronze & Copper Collector Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 BTW.... Remember the PCGS farthing mule debacle of several years ago??! Rather than admit an error, they essentially created a new variety... 1
copper123 Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 And the new variety is called "mule but not a mule" and is 2000% more expensive than an ord toothed border coin and used by slabbing firms to extract money from their customers, thus being very useful- too themselves
