Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1446307, member: 15929"]Not comong down on you Rodeoclown but the reality is to a every non-collector, each modern coin, either  in or out of a slab is only worth face value. It's the value that we, as a collective, place on the coin based upon our knowledge about how it came to be or how many of them there are left or simply by how many folks might want one, the really counts. The true value of a coin is known only to the owner of that coin. Whether its the first one found for a specific year, an error (major or minor), a brilliant uncirculated example, or just plain unusual. The owner has it, is more than likely curious about it, and as such, sticks it away. When I die, the value of my everyday commonly collected coins dies with me. I know that they have no value to you, or you, or the multitude of other you's that exist out there. I understand that the majority of collectors have no interest in my goofy collection. For the OP's coin? It's very interesting, IMO, and I'd be pleased to have found such an oddity. Whether or not it has value is unimportant. Whats important is that it was found and now openly discussed so that others who may find similar coins can learn from the discussion and decide for themselves how much personal value such a piece might have to them.[/QUOTE]
