<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2760944, member: 36230"]As with most any coin, connecting with the "right" buyer is paramount, but is even more important with something like this. The fact is that a lot of collectors will not want anything to do with it, even with the historical value, which means you've an item with a comparatively small market. Getting in front of as many eyes as is possible would be your best bet, if selling yourself, and you also wish to achieve the highest price possible. I'm not sure how eBay would treat such a thing these days, but perhaps a black box over the offending letter (or another so that said word isn't clear) would be acceptable while adding a slyly written description.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had a few of these over the years and can say with great confidence that you're not looking at a great deal of money, even in the best case scenario. I do believe, if memory serves me, the last one I had was sold on eBay maybe ten years ago, and went somewhere around $20 in the end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
