Well I took my cool find to a big coin shop and they were thoroughly unimpressed. He basically weighed and said that based on the gold melt value it was worth $48.00. That's a far cry from the ones I saw at some coin dealer's websites that were selling theirs for $400 or so. Then I began looking on Ebay and found one auction for the same coin. It is currently at 3 days from the auction end and has a whopping 3 bids and is currently at $12.50. I'm going to watch it up until the end and if it doesn't rise to much I figure if I can get it for under $48 including shipping at least I'll have another one and it would have cost me less then the melt value.
