How much is this coin really worth?

    A lady on one of our local thrift sites has a coin like this for sale. She's asking $500 for it because this guy below is selling one on eBay for $495 for it. She said she took it to a local coin shop and confirmed that it was the same error, but the dealer would pay nowhere close to 500 bucks. I messaged her and explained that the eBay price is the buy it now price and nobody seems interested. What do you think an error like this would sell for?

    very little.

    1) not a cud.

    2) not a die crack.

    3 A die break, in a small area at chin

    Personaly I might put out a $20 for it but beyond that hell no. as Treashunt stated is a die break and while it is a great error I wouldn't put much more of a premium on it then any other die crack/break. BTW that is $20 for the "slabbed" one, raw I might offer a fiver :D

    Five to ten dollars was what I was thinking. It's interesting but just a novelty to me, not something I actually need for my collection.

    1) Agreed
    2) Agreed
    3) Disagree - to me it looks like a mark left by an inclusion that dropped out after the strike.
