The interesting rare cent was sold yesterday on Ebay. Its a 1841 year one cent. Winning bid for this lot: US $US $6,268.86.
Cents description:
Stunning 1841 cent in Red/Brown Proof Format. For the advance copper collector. Great color, luster and surfaces. High reflectivity. This coin is sure to please.
I wonder if anyone can help me, I have a 1841 one cent coin. I would say it is in excellent condition considering it’s over 150 year old and somehow made it into my grandads collection as a boy, how or where he ot it from is a mystery. Would like to know if it’s of value to anyone and if it’s the same type of coin that sold for $6,000. Please e-mail me at above address.
Thank you

I forgot to mention that this coin made it to a tiny island of Anglesey in North Wales, UK. I have no idea how.

I also have a 1841 one cent coin, however I am located in Australia. Im just wondering why some 1841 1cent coins sell for $30 and others like the one above sell for $6000?
