[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1170752, member: 26030"]Very interesting posts so far! I have to say that there was something really cool about this coin, the character of it sort of talked to me -- and I liked the darker brown and amber tones (in the photo at least) -- and how they mixed with brighter colors. The coin looks OLD and like it's been through the "mill" (even though it's mint state). When I get the shipment later this week, I will photograph it again and post the photos. It really is a good question though, how should a coin be valued? If 10 guys would pay $200 for a coin, and 2 guys would pay $300, and 1 guy would pay $500. What is the "fair market value" of the coin really? I guess you would have to say $500. But if that one guy with $500 to burn, keeled over and died, is the coin suddenly worth only $300 ... I would have to say yes. Maybe the "fair market value" might be better estimated by averaging everyones guess (on this board) instead of going by what the high bidder paid.
