This is truly an amazing coin. So old! Very rare! So much history! I purchased this coin about five years ago at a coin and stamp shop. I paid $45 for the coin at the time because I found it so beautiful! I am not a coin collector, coin professional, or other coin specialist. I buy coins that touch my heart, are full of history, and appeal to my eye. So, by buying the coin you will be responsible for grading it to determine it's worth.

I tried to find information to assist you in determining its worth. I reviewed a lot of auction sites, coin collector sites, and coin value sites. I found estimates everywhere from $29-$300 per coin. Please remember that you are responsible for doing your own research and for grading the coin yourself. The information above shows you how much grading can vary with a coin this age. What I do know is this: if you enjoy collecting historical coins, love the history behind them, and want to hold such a valuable coin in your hand, then you should bid on this one. The information below is what I found from a few websites that might help you in your decision.
