How much for this Jefferson "Pattern" Token?

How much would you pay for this silver token reproduction of the original 1938 award-winning Jefferson nickel design? eBay Link

I think it is worth a few bucks to see the design as intended in coin form. The reverse design is quite nice, imho, though at first glance it is difficult to perceive what the design actually is representing, which is most likely due to paradigm training of flat, straight-perspective buildings on coins.

What do you think? Any feel for legitimate "value"?

The club is still selling the set of two (1 proof and 1 MS) for $75 I believe.

I'd pay $3, crack it, and use it as a pocket piece. I think it would look pretty cool in 5-6 years.

I bought mine directly from the Full Step Nickel club. As a Proof Jefferson Nickel specialist I really wanted to have these. The FSNC tries to reserve some serial numbers so they can match your FSNC membership number, which mine do. I don't think they would have much value to anyone who isn't a Jefferson collector. I'll watch this auction and put in a bid if I think it is going for too little...

HOLY CRAP! Over $225 for just the proof version? That bidder got bent over, but good!

I might go five or six bucks.

This is an example of a really well done piece of modern exonumia. I purchased the proof and unc. versions from the Full Step Nickel Club for the combined price of $72. I think the proof, by itself and slabbed by SEGS (as all of them are) will probably bring just under the club price. I'll be surprised if this sells for under $30.

I purchased 4 of the proofs from FSNC. Didn't think they would draw that kind of money!!

The proof had quite a bit of bidding action. One bidder really wanted it but and was snipped with 3 seconds to go. I might try putting one of mine up! If it sells for more then $175, I'll get back all that I paid for the four!

edsondl, the reverse is just another view of the Monticello from a different angle. Very nice design!
