1850 Swiss 20 Rappen (no mint mark)

I think I just found one of these in a junk coin lot.

According to the internet this is a severely rare coin, and in average circulated condition is worth $800.00+

Does anyone here have any knowledge of this coin?

I will post pics later.....the coin is in very worn condition, but enough to see the details, and that it has no mint mark.

I would hope to find out it's value so I can make some $$$. thanks

Krause does not list a 'no mint mark' type for the 1850 20 Rappen.

They do list a 1850 no mint mark type for the 5 rappen that is quite pricey ($450 in Fine)

Will have to see images; but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

For the value you think it might be worth, it would have to be authenticated as well.

You probably are just missing the BB due to wear ... should be under the wreath on reverse. probably a $3-5 coin in that condition
