<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charlietodd, post: 2215984, member: 46521&quot;]I think you paid a great price for the coin. I have the exact one, but year 1799. I paid around 40$ for it a few years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can see why he is asking asking this much, It&#039;s easy to get caught up in such a neat coin. The one i purchased was the first one i had ever seen, and was instantly fixated on it, and no matter what, I was going to purchase it. I was lucky that i was not caught up in a bidding war, I definitely would have spent more than i should to purchase it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The chop mark&#039;s definitely increase the value in my opinion. Nobody in my family collects coin&#039;s, but this is the only one people want to see when the subject is brought up. Especially my niece, and nephews, who like to look at it and think about were it&#039;s traveled, and who has held it over the last 215 years. I think seeing a old coin; you know it&#039;s old, but the chop mark&#039;s give it some kind of identity, like you know it&#039;s been place&#039;s, foreign ports, it&#039;s definitely crossed the ocean back when it was only wind power to do so..</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, i was on another forum were a member posted a picture, and asked pretty much the same thing. It was the same coin, different date or so, but one guy was telling the op if he wanted to sale it, he was interested in buying it. You could tell the guy was caught up with the coin, and never seen one like it,&nbsp; several times thru the thread he was like, &quot;seriously if you want to sale it, I want to buy it&quot;..</p><p><br /></p><p>Ha, didn&#039;t mean to rant, and i don&#039;t think i helped the OP out at all, but i think you did a great trade for it..Definitely would have did the same..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
