The starting bid was reasonable, in my opinion, perhaps 3% of an undamaged coin. As the key date of the series, it has some value, even as a cull. I would agree that now it is way over-priced.

I bet the winner already has a bottle of Verdicare.
Expect to see this coin again but looking better.

Wonder if any kind of shill bidding is going on?

20 bottles of verdicare wouldn't make this a respectable coin

I guess it shows the demand for key date coins is still there.

Soaking in Sulfuric Acid for a few days should help.
