Ebay seller with superglue

Does adding superglue to a coin add any value? This auction on Ebay shows the porcelain coin below Link Does the seller really believe that the coin is worth $10 + $5 shipping for a damaged glued together coin? What do you think?

It matters if the BUYER thinks its worth it. The shipping is a bit high so I'd imagine the starting bid is too.

Rather like plugging a hole in a coin.

I went into a coin shop in Buenos Aires and the prices they wanted were exceedingly higher than anything I was used to in the US. So the price he is asking for doesn't surprise me

I don't follow the ceramic notgeld but usually when I see them they are going for $25 and up for commons. Is it possible this is a better piece? And what would it be worth left broken in pieces? I think his shipping is a little too high but his starting bid might be OK. (Although I also think it would be a good ending bid level as well, unless this is a rare piece.)

On second thought the shipping probably isn't excessive. It is being shipped from Argentina. And it isn't a auction but a BIN. So it is $10 or more less than what it would cost from a local, knowledgeable dealer. Is it wrth it? I think possibly depending on the rariety of the piece.

No, it's not worth it. Once no longer intact their value drops swiftly.
