Coin World has it at $1600. Depends on how much you want to fill that hole. I would be tempted.

I could not care less what the book price is. Personally would rather see an empty hole...or better yet... for $1600 ish find a nice restrike in mid MS.

I'd rather have that hole remain empty.

I'm missing the 1793, 1799, and 1804. I would compromise and buy one with some damage, but this goes beyond my boundaries. I doubt that I would buy it even at a fraction of that price.

IMHO that is damage. I have always thought of counter stamped as an actual stamp and not someone taking a tool and scratching something random.  |

That's a real hard one to look at.  'Counterstamp' is too kind for that damage. |

I love early US cents, but that one is just too difficult to love.
Just too badly damaged for me.

A bit high in that condition, good part is the coin is genuine.

cipster, I've got the 1793 Chain and the 1799/8.
After buying those 2, the 1804 will be a ways away yet!

As a coin collector, ouch. But I find it interesting to ponder why, presuming the markings occurred sometime around 200 years ago. For some reason it looks Native American to me, possibly done with a knife? Seems to have something to do with the cardinal points. Obverse looks like practice for the reverse. My first thought was some kind of mini-sundial considering the hole that lines up NE on the obverse, but I don't know how that could work.

Needs to be sent to the coin graveyard so no one has to ever look at it again.

I've got the 1793 Chain That is one cool coin - our first circulating coin in America - no matter what the grade, that is one to be proud of no matter how it looks IMO!
