Really low end material isn't necessarily cheap

For some specialty collections, pieces in terrible condition still go for thousands.

Very true...especially for colonials.

But I'd take a worn and beat up Higley Copper or Gloucester Token in a minute...over almost anything else.

Painfully true in half dimes as well.

1793 Chain Cents are found in deplorable condition and still go for $1500 - $3000+.

This is just one example of many other series'.

Keys in any grade will always go for a lot of cash. For large cents, it also includes the 1793 Liberty Cap, 1799, 1804 etc.

I wonder how much a heavily corroded AG of a Strawberry Leaf Cent would bring.

I've seen plenty of dateless 1916 SLQs bring close to $2,000
