I am going to hunt around the Internet and see what I come up with. I am thinking it was a commemorative token piece that the mint produced and gave out with certain sets. It only has 13 stars on it and if you flip it up like we do our normal coins the reverse is actually upside down. This coin you need to flip side to side in order for the proper rotation on the reverse, what's up with that?

That's a medal/medallion flip. Canada does that with their coins.
I think so PBP.

Are they? I have no idea what they are. They were in a collection I got.
Edit: Thanks for the link CC. I guess I can call them Mint Tokens, or commemoratives. Yes, Good idea, I'll weigh it.

some of the auctions say brass others say copper. Just a commemorative token - too bad it is not dated. Maybe you can weigh it and see if that helps

Lamination errors have to be pretty significant and have strong eye appeal before the price starts going up. OP's coin is a mild peel on a common date with limited eye appeal. Likely value around $0.25. For comparison, I recently sold a lot of 4 wheat cents with lamination problems but also with limited eye appeal. The 1923 is not a common date and most of the hair is fully peeled off. But not amazing looking. These four coins sold for $6.49, or pretty close to what I would expect.  |

To me it has all those things, maybe just because I am young (not in age though) novice to the coin hobby and these types of errors. I don't see many 44's with the S mm and I have not found any LAMs with an attached fold over like that. Sorry  CM hope I didn't get your hopes up on the selling price. |

The second item comes with old mint sets. They came in the packet with all the coins in the mint set for that year (D for Denver and P for Phil). I don't know when they discontinued these.

I appreciate everyone's input. It's good to know what my little "cellos" are. As far as the value of the Retained Lam, I'm going to leave that up to the millions of shoppers on ebay. There's a wide range of estimates on this post, just imagine the wider range on ebay. Like most people in all professions, I want to make decent money. In the interest of fairness, I'll cap it around $40 with an option of best offer. If the coin was in better condition, I'd cap it around $80. What's really important to collectors is the uniqueness of the error, followed by the condition. The date, wheat ears, mint, etc. hardly affect the value of this one at all. Edit: I'd also like to add that coins that are not for sale at any price, are in my opinion, priceless. There are books and guides, etc. with "Values for Coins". They are certainly entitled to their opinions. It is my opinion that the true value of any coin is what someone wants to pay to own it. You see the huge auctions of coins selling for thousands of dollars. The buyer is tickled. That's no different at any level. Edit: I'd also like to add that any coin that is not for sale at any price, is in my opinion, priceless. Edited by CoinMasters

If you get 40. for it ,let me know. I probably have 1000 to 1500 of them. I'll let all of them go for 25. a piece.  Edited by Cujohn

Edit: Cujohn, I was referring to the Retained Lam that I posted. For a minor lam, I'd probably agree it has no moentary value.
