Last month i went to a local Estate sale held by a real estate who owns the property everything inside had to go on a table was lots of old coins some in folds each one was priced what caught my eye was a 1783 GW Celebration one cent copper at first i did not think it was real i looked close and did not see the word copy and the tag said 50.00 me not being a expert on coins took a chance and purposed it when i returned home i checked it out on the PC and it sure enough looked real i took it to my local coin shop they said its the real thing :hello2: and the 2010 Red Book values it at 950.00 in VF it went up 25.00 in value since the 2009 Red Book .By checking i saw the die strikes on that issue are lite on the word Washington and United are common .Dd60
