    she'd prolly rate repair as she's pretty nice with alot of detail there....shame though you bet like in 90' when i pulled the trigger on a 1796 vg quarter for $3600. and the dealer fessed up on the fact it was plugged.SHAME-SHAME-SHAME

    That is actually worth $1,200 or more. That's a great example of Americana and it is important. I will agree, however, that it is not suited for a type set. Collector's of counterstamps would love that piece. And.....it will not be repaired because the c/s is worth more than the coin in a repaired state.

    I agree with Jade - this is highly collectible for what it is - an early 19th century C/S on a wildly popular host coin, and I am confident it will exceed the estimate by about this much (arms extended far apart).

    This is not to be confused (as some forum members evidently have) with a coin damaged / graffitied last week by your brother-in-law.

    Yes, its not for everybody. No, it would not be an ideal selection for a type set. But to suggest it would 'rate a repair' is not to understand the market for these items at all.

    You'll also find that this is in the exonumia section not the dollars section. I don't think it's a shame at all. I'm gonna pass too because I don't collect exonumia but this looks like a really neat item for someone who does. I bet it will go for "moon money" for exonumia.
