<p>[QUOTE="non_cents, post: 1802878, member: 30970"]You are correct in that the value is what someone will pay for it. People can list discovery pieces for $500...that doesn't mean they'll get it. However, I will say that the strength of the doubling is definitely dependent on the value for a discovery piece. I have a coin that was attributed and listed as coppercoins.com. I have the only known example as far as I am concerned, so you might call it a "rarity". However, the doubling is not really significant, and I couldn't really see anyone paying much for my piece based on that. </p><p><br /></p><p>There was a major 1988 doubled ear Lincoln Cent discovered in 2011, probably the find of the year. It was a discovery piece and quite dramatic...and so far it is unique. It was sold at first for $200, and then for $2,000. So some discovery pieces can certainly sell for a bit of money if they are dramatic enough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
