<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1076051, member: 19065"]They are not really worth anything over face and are common. I won these two in a CT contest. If the dealer has TONS of them I would be hard pressed to pay anything over 5¢ a piece. If you are trying to buy a set of all states I would highly advise not to spend $50 to acquire them. Pick out as many as you need in the condition you like them in and make a significantly lower offer for the lot of pieces you want to buy. If he only has, say 35 out of the 50 states you need, that's only $1.75 at .05¢/ea. I wouldn't pay more than $2.50 for all 50 if they are all circulated and in such varied condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe there was a thread in the past year in which someone shared an entire collection of these that was bought in a holder shaped like a US map. They probably turn up on eBay if you hunt there. Do not overpay for these common, modern counter stamped coins. They were a novelty to begin with and are not rare. $1 each is too much to pay, IMO. Just do some further searching online before buying from that dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
