Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 80808, member: 112"]Based on what I could find by searching auction records there are varieties - but it seems the varieties lie within the date range for the series 1730 - 1740 instead of just for the 1730 date. One of those varieties is the letter B being found on the first sleeve lappet of the 1734 coin, Sev-1182. That one is considered very rare. Another for the 1734 is known as the Lyrical portrait Uzd-714 (RR); Sev-1172 - a 1 yr type, also very rare. I can tell you that yours is not the Uzd-693; Sev-1051 variety, also a 1730 date. All of the coins listed above sold for $400 - $1000 and they were all in the high VF, XF or AU grade with no detracting marks, nor were any of them countermarked. Your coin however seems to have a severe planchet flaw which although technically should not affect the grade, it deffinitely affects the eye appeal and therefore the grade and salability of the coin. Based on records I have found for coins in the VF grades I would imagine this coin might sell for around $275 - $300. However - I have not been able to find and records for this coin with a countermark. That alone may effect the value in either direction. Best I could do in a half hour - I'll keep looking over the next few days and will pass on any additional info I can find.[/QUOTE]
