If you don't know the answer to the question yourself you should not even be considering such an item.
just looking for some input from someone out there in coinland !
@dimebag
Coins with errors are a niche market and it is very difficult to estimate premiums.
Best way to get an idea of the premium is to check previously sold/closed transactions with GC, HA, Bay, etc.
What is that error worth to you?

Definitely not worth that price - to me. I find error coins interesting, but not my type of collectible.... Cheers, RickO
It is 10 times more than I would want to pay. Even though NGC has certified it, I do not like the rim edges where the split occurs. If you think about how the error would have naturally occurred, there had to have been an impurity rolled into the copper stock used for making the planchetts. I have seen split nickels that have lamination errors, but usually they have layers flake off, not a break from 3 to 9 o'clock.
What is a unique dramatic error "worth"? Whatever someone is willing to pay for it. If it was a bargain then presumably it would be gone already.
Far too much money,
It took me years to get 175.00 out of a similar Jefferson nickel.
it's nice, but not that nice !! can't seem to find what others like this have sold for. thought this would be something different than the 1972/72 ddo's iv'e been looking at.
Maybe EOC will chime in.
Yes, that is my coin that came out of my personal birthdate error coin collection.
I have only seen one (this one) of this date. Show me another one. It is unique. It is not cheap. it is super cool.
yes, super cool but i figured it was overpriced !!
@ErrorsOnCoins
Super cool error and it's great that you have both pieces. I like it
Sorry I just couldn't resist.
maybe the price is not high, a couple other denominations that sold on Heritage

It is a unique piece and it's lucky both pieces are together.
When you see someone pay twice that for a modern Statehood quarter just because of grade with no error for a registry set it doesn't seem to be a bad deal. May not be for everyone but don't be surprised when EOC comes back and rubs it in our nose when it sells.
eoc ???
I have a question:
HOW did / could this happen? was there perhaps a die crack ? even then I am guessing, there was considerable
force / action involved to complete a break like that. would surely love to see macro images of both broken ends.
Some time ago I had a Canadian cent like this or similar on another forum and was told: Basement job!! with no further explanation.
Am not implying this here... just asking what you guesses (or facts) are how this happened.
@dimebag EOC = ErrorsOnCoins
@YQQ Planchet flaw, maybe something like a line of carbon that made it weak and broke after striking. A die crack would not cause the coin/planchet to crack.
both are very nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have always thought about the last statement.
If coin dealers had all of their coins priced at bargain levels, then I would suppose they would have zero inventory nor inventory to put on a website promoting their business.
I also need to think about replacing inventory. The type of inventory I am looking for takes quite a bit of time to find and is few and far in between. Replacing unique coins with more unique coins is very hard work.
My interest would fade after the $10-$15 mark.
The series, denomination, and metal also matter.
that's happening with me too !!!!!!!!!!!!
Very true. For rare or hard to replace coins the dealer needs to find that sweet spot between their inventory flying out the door at cut rate prices, and it sitting in their inventory forever. It needs to be there long enough for the "right buyer" to come along.
