[QUOTE="lonegunlawyer, post: 1548022, member: 40282"]robbudo is correct to a point, but before I say a little something, I saw over the weekend a coin dealer advertising one (a couple of years newer I think) for $200.00. If the supply is 81-200, then price will be set on what the demand is. At this time, a coin like yours not graded by a TPG would retail for approximately $15-$25. For a coin like yours to bring $180 on ebay (8-12 times retail for normal coin) would suggest a general market for this variety at 300-800. Because yours is an approximate 30-45 grade coin, I would guess 100-200 of the possible 300-800 people comprising the primary market for the subject coin would be interested in yours (possibly more if someone who would rather buy a higher grade coin wanted a hole filler). The big issue is communicating with those who would pay you what it is worth. If you do not connect with those people, then your coin will not command a premium. For example, coins of all types were hoarded and hard to come by in the eastern parts of the US in the mid 1800's, however, out in California where gold was plentiful, gold coins abounded. If news traveled faster, I am sure there would have been those who would have traveled out west, loaded up on gold and silver coins, and taken them back east for a profit. The key is having something and connecting with the person who wants it most (or at least wants it a lot).[/QUOTE]
