| To be honest, I don't find the $1.10 Offer to be that bad, the dealer isn't going to expect there to be better varieties in there, so they have to buy em as generic. Unloading ikes in small quantities takes a ton of time and work for not a very big payout. If it takes a dealer more than 2 hours to list, sell, and ship the 75 you sold, which it probably would, it wouldn't be worth it even if they paid face for them. Not to mention the amount of space relative to value 500 Eisenhower dollars takes up. It's similar to a dealer offering 2c per for wheat cents when they will ultimately sell them for 4-5c per. The value is too low for a dealer to offer more. |

Hey all, I recently acquired what looks to be a pretty rare note.
I picked it up on vibes as I haven't come across too many type 2 notes. But from what research I've done the only info I could find was a HA sale of one of these back in like 2003 stating that there's only 6 examples known from this bank.
My main questions are 1. Is this note really that scarce? and 2. If it is, what kind of ballpark value does it have? I don't do a whole lot of currency and I know that rarity doesn't necessarily confer value.
Thanks!

| This looks like 106a to me. Doesn't quite match 109, star 1 is too close to the bust, and it's missing the triple segment above R on the reverse as well as the crack above states. |

Just an update on this coin.
It was indeed cracked and sent to NGC who gave it a G-6, which is exactly where I had it at. I think it's a fair net grade for the corrosion spots on a coin that technically has VG details.
It'll probably get crossed one more time to PCGS just to try and get it in their holder, we'll see if it actually passes though.
by the way panzaldi, the reverse weakness is from the die shattering, the reverse die on this variety shattered early on in striking which is why the variety is so rare. |

| Frog, NGCx is the same as NGC. Just a different way that they grade for Vaultboxes. It's supposed to appeal to card collectors who are used to a 10 point scale |

This coin has a whole lot going on.
As several pointed out, the obverse flaws are definitely as minted, either by a die defect, or a strike through. I was leaning towards die defect but I could be wrong. The coin that jacrispies found was the first that I found as well with the same defect but I have found others.
This is clearly a very late die state of BD-1, and with that lower striking pressure to preserve the dies, grease, or some other anomaly prevented the reverse form getting fully struck up. This coin is unquestionably AU given the luster, but it's not an attractive example.
Unfortunately though, this coin has had some work done on the reverse above the eagle, it's very hard to tell in these photos, but as you twirl the coin in hand that spot jumps out as "off", and under magnification it's clear that the area was softened and worked over. Whether PCGS notices it or not is another story, but I would expect they do.
I graded the coin AU details, reverse tooled. Had the reverse not had work done I would have given it no better than a 53 due to the diminished eye appeal from the obverse flaw and weak reverse. |

Thank you all for the opinions and the congratulations!
If this were any other 1794 Large Cent I would agree with the Good details conclusions, but as others have stated nearly every single surviving example of this variety has problems as significant or worse than this coin and are nearly always net graded, the VG-8 Plate coin in particular has very heavy corrosion and looks to be net to 8 from a VF details: https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...oke-bn/35564
jacrispies: This piece is likely going to go to stacks in their March auction, I don't have a huge attachment to EAC myself and it's tough to justify keeping a coin of such significant value, the decision was not an easy one though.
