<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Juan Blanco, post: 1591210, member: 41665&quot;]I always wonder about prices, and (of course) it&#039;s only worth what you can sell it for. That said, I&#039;d argue for MUCH HIGHER rather than PCGS list price in this case.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rusell Rulau&#039;s article from Numismatic News is MUST READ and increases the coin&#039;s value considerably. Texas Confederate- and Civil War numismatists (particularly those from the oil patch) should be seeking exactly this sort of artifact, which has additional historical significance. To realize it&#039;s optimal value, the niche market needs to know - and the right buyer will be someone extraordinary I suppose, <u>not</u> some typical coin collector.</p><p><a href="http://www.numismaticnews.net/article/could_these_be_civil_war_tokens_from_texas" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismaticnews.net/article/could_these_be_civil_war_tokens_from_texas" rel="nofollow">http://www.numismaticnews.net/article/could_these_be_civil_war_tokens_from_texas</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>From Stack&#039;s Bowers:</p><p>1854 .... (Brunk C-161; Rulau MV 42S &gt; <b>CWT #695A-1a</b>) PCGS: AG-3 $ 26. x 9.9615 = $259.

PCGS: VG-12 $2,250 (down from $2,850 at Numismatic Peak 2Q 2008) x 9.9615 = <b>$22,413. </b>(potentially, at the same premium and rarity circumstance, etc.) </p><p><br /></p><p>The story behind the stamp is ALL the additional value, IMO. No &quot;shame&quot; here!!! Or have I misunderstood something?&nbsp; I&#039;m willing to admit that; I&#039;m a contrarian who looks for value where other scoff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
