Lol I didn't mean this coin was worth anything. I meant if someone came across a beat up SMS that got lost along the way I'm sure it would be worth something still. I'm not valuing mine at anything over .01 I stated I agreed with Coop on it being nothing in that same post but thanks for clarifying again.
Am I understanding this right and I'm asking because I really don't know. At issue is SMS Special Mint Sets and the coins have die polish lines & that creates value?
Supposedly that's a big factor in determining their extreme value..I don't believe the hype after 2 full weeks of research and finding ZERO concrete info on the supposed special strikes. They were described as Refinished Dies and that's all they are. Proof dies that were refinished and put back into service for business strikes IMO. The reason there's only a handful of full steps and sharp strikes is BC they wore out so fast. The polishing has the satin finish because they sandblast the proof dies and in using them as a business Strike, the planchets weren't polished to mirror finish.
Value is what someone is willing to pay for it. In most cases that is how much can I resell it for. With most people it is still to close to paying your tax time. Good luck
