Any premium?
As I understand it, an unc sold at auction years ago for around $300.
Thanks!

Is it safe to assume the one that sold for $300. was an absolutely GEM example, and perhaps one that is circulated would have very little collector interest? I don't know- just food for thought.

I'll have him send me the pics.

My opinion is there are way more people looking for these minor varieties then there are people that collect them, but I did not sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night so there is that.

300 bucks? Maybe, but only if it also has a "floating" roof like this one.
Seriously, I wouldn't attach a $300 value to one of these but it wouldn't surprise me if one did sell for that amount, and as braddick says only if it was a gem red example. There certainly is slight interest in something like this but not much I would think. And I doubt if a circulated example would be worth more than a couple of bucks. There are several on ebay right now, ranging in price from $2.89 to an absurd $519.69.
When checking change, I do look for this variety, but would not buy one. A minor variety, with not a lot of interest. Cheers, RickO
pcgs has a general price listed of hundreds of dollars for these in 64/65/66 red attributed.
did a basic search a couple/few weeks ago and saw a couple at major auction houses over the past few years match up with the pcgs price guide (coinfacts) estimations. fwiw
saw a raw red coin sell for $50+ on the bay at a "true?" auction, so there is an interest but like others have said; may be a thin market interest.
attributed, problem-free pcgs neat varieties will almost always find a home. that name carries numismatic items a LONG way.
Removed. I didn’t read carefully...
Can you post some pictures?
The pics he sent me are pretty crappy; not worth posting...ditto the condition of the coins. Can't see them going for much more than a buck or two apiece.

Actually, a couple bucks is what I also think is about it.
