    never seen one like that, but I am sure you could at least get $50 for it.
    Just claim its "super rare"

    Start the bidding at .99¢, no reserve and let the market decide...unless you find a specific example already SOLD (not offered and unsold) where maybe you could place a reserve, but don't start it higher than .99¢...

    Good luck!

    How is that an error? Was it supposed to be melted and it escaped or something?

    It escaped : they were experimental pieces which weren't supposed to be released, but in the end quite a few did.

    The problem with that is not every interested buyer might see it listed during the auction period. Research the market value and list a fair opening bid. My best bargains have been the 99c things where I was the only bidder. Sometimes it happens and the seller is out of luck.

    Just sayin

    If you are willing to sell for 0.99, start it at that. But sometimes the bidding just isn't there. Of the 2 million+ collectors, you are trying to match it with someone who wants it badly. The people who bid the start bids on eBay are mostly re-sellers I believe.

    My sentiments exactly. Unless what you are offering is worth $1 it's better to do the research and then list your coin at a fair opening price.

    I have read storys about these experimental rinse coins and they are supposed to be really valuable. How in the heck can anyone prove that is what they are? If you leave any of our new coins out in the open and not in coin holders they will all tone to a deep copper or purple color. maybe this is what is wrong with all of our new coins. I have found out that of you wash the coins in warm water and soap then rinse them off and gently dry them they will remain nice and bright longer and not tone like this. Darn it I wish I had knew that before I had hundreds of them slabbed....Troy
