The going rate on vcoins for one like mine seems to be around $200, and I've seen as high as $300 for one that is shinier and slightly better preserved than mine. I know because I almost bought it half a year ago but decided not to pull the trigger on it, and is still available. Incidentally, they do have one on the site that is similar in wear to mine for $120, but it does have some edge damage which may put you off, though there is another one for sale at a similar price and preservation to mine if you don't mind ordering from the UK and waiting 1 month to get it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
