<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinsandmedals, post: 3741265, member: 107435&quot;]I am a copper guy at heart, but I like the design in silver. I have a proof pattern farthing in silver (Peck-623) that I find attractive but otherwise, my collection is mostly copper. I think it would be difficult to put a price on it simply because these pieces are more or less traded in lots as opposed to individual sales. Given that the coin is gilt I can see a sale going one of two ways:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The gilt may be viewed as damage if they come to the conclusion that is was not done officially. This would likely lower the selling price.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. With sufficient evidence that it was gilt officially, it might command a slight premium (not sure how much). Gilt pieces only seem to command strong premiums when they are well preserved.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other major limitation is demand. These pieces do not seem to be in demand right now and that keeps the price down. With that being said, this is a pretty cool piece that tells an interesting story. Just think of the stories this little piece could tell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
