So I guess this coin in the OP is my first coin for 2023.
I did once own this Akragas hemidrachm. A somewhat lower grade piece, but I liked it. The ketos sea monster on it chomping on a fish was...
I’m jealous. I’ve been wanting a “crabby” coin for a while. I like those Akragas crab tetradrachms, but they get rather pricey. Perhaps I’ll go...
It was posted in the Ancient Coins section. I just used my magic moderator wand to move it over to the US Coins section. Presto! It is fixed....

As mentioned, the poll is unneccesary (but I voted "What is it worth" since those were the only two options.) Also as mentioned, this coin...
Interesting!
That dilemma is easily put to rest. Note in the intro that I said there were several partial rolls of these in the old storage unit clutter...
Thanks for the update! :)
It's some kind of post-mint damage, but it's intriguing and rather mysterious.
I love the old counterstamped coins of this era.
