First of all, to answer your question: probably in the $10-15 range, in a well-run eBay auction.

True story about this variety: back around the time the third edition of the Cherrypickers' Guide came out, two or three UNC examples of this coin sold on eBay for really stupid money, low four figures. I remember one ANACS 65RD coin realized over $2,000. This is not a particularly rare variety, so predictably several more examples were listed almost instantly, flooding out the market. J.T. Stanton was still active in the hobby then, so I wrote him and asked if he had any idea why the coin had gone up so far in value. It turns out the 3rd edition CPG had a few typos, one of which was in the entry for this coin - it seems an extra zero had been added to the values.

Not a particularly rare variety...

Couldn't be...I have nearly two dozen of them in various grades from VF to MS65.

I agree with $10-$20 in VF.
