vanwink46 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Hi, new to the forum, I found a 1863 penny says for the contractors on one side and the other side say not for one cent for the widows, can not find it anywhere except for an article in the New York Times back in the 1895 about the coin, just wondering if anyone has ever heard or seen this coin, wonder the vaule?

Mark Stilson Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Don't know a value but they were made by Emil Sigel. Should have Fort Lafaye on the head band. Here's a web site with one listed. Approx. 2,000 to 4,999 minted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the one you have shown, the Fort Lafaye is faint, I need to get a magnifying glass to check it better. Thanks again, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Sounds interesting. However, did you see the post about PENNY vs CENT. Watch it there or the CENT POLICE will be after you for using PENNY. WELCOME TO THE FORUM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
