[QUOTE="JBK, post: 26189965, member: 1101"]Too many for me to remember, but off the top of my head: "Vote The Land Free" (c. 1848) which now seems to get over $200 pretty consistency for a decent example (one sold for $379 on ebay recently), several hundred dollars for "Hauck's Panacea" (19th century), a few hundred dollars or more for any of the 19th century burlesque or minstrel shows, often over $100 for 19th century quack medicines, hundreds of dollars for many 19th century gunsmiths, etc. For issues in the past 50 years or so: Mel Wacks' Camp David Peace dollars sell for hundreds, Anguilla Liberty Dollars (1967) usually sell for over $100, Chinese students' Freedom Dollars (1989) sell for hundreds (one sold for $800 in a Spinks auction a couple years ago), Western Reserve issues sell for over a hundred. Exceptional or unusual examples of some of the above coins, or ones like them, have sold for over $1000, if I recall correctly. The 19th century coins were "modern" when they were produced, and viewed as just damaged coins for many decades afterward. Many were treated as culls for a very long time. Many of today's modern counterstamps will one day be as scarce, desirable, and valuable as the older counterstamps are today.[/QUOTE]
