    The coins are quite common and hold little value even though they only had a mintage of 218,330. To give you some idea, in an auction held in June of this year, a lot of 44 of these coins dated from 1762-95 averaging in grade from Fine to Very Fine - the entire lot of 44 coins sold for $650.00.

    So hopefully you didn't pay very much for this one.

    People can offer to sell a coin for anything - and sometimes do so. But that doesn't mean the coin is worth that much.

    Example - blatant counterfeits often sell for full retail value on ebay. Does that mean that counterfeit is worth that much ?

    A genuine coin can sell for $200 on ebay, or from a coin dealer's shop. But the next day I can go looking and find 5 of the exact same coins in the same grade and buy all 5 of them for $200 total. So was the coin on ebay worth $200 ?

    I'd be honored to be the steward of those coins for $650.
