This coin came with a better coin. This was a "bonus" coin. I just noticed the cud on the reverse. I know the coin is very rough and I can't get the light today to show how the coin really looks. The reverse is way better but the obverse is better than the pics shown. Anyway I was researching this coin and found that it's rare?
Thoughts or info or price range or offers....please.
What Sheldon variety do you think it is? I'm thinking it's an S.161--an R2 variety. The S.180 also has the die cud over "States", but it only extends to the "E" in STATES--that's an R6 variety & would be worth big bucks. I think it's a nice coin with an amazing cud! It's finding cuds, clashes, die cracks, overdates and other errors that makes the pre-1833 U.S. coins so amazing!
When's the bidding start? How about now? I'll bid 100 times face value, easily. Or don't waste your time. I'll pay 200 times face as a buy-it-now. Shoot, it's got a "mistake" on it, so it's probably not worth much. And hey, I gotta make money too. Best I can do. I've got a buddy who's an expert in these things. Mind if I call him in?

Nah, man. It was just my sideways way of saying I think the coin is valuable. And I had just seen Pawn Stars the other day and noticed how often he says the same few phrases, like "I'll give you like fifty bucks. Best I can do."
