I wouldn't pay over $6.00 for "dark air" in an empty 2x2 ! ......  Those "are" really nice staples though.....perhaps you could recycle them..... Edited by eaglefoot

How much is the seller charging for this thing that may or not be a coin?

I might give 1 cent for it, but hard to say from that photo.

John1 that was an excellent guess, unless you saw this on ebay as well. I knew it was an 1886 because that's what I was looking for originally. But Mtn's guess of a "black hole in a holder" is an excellent guess as well! |

I knew it was an 1866 IHC because of the image filename.  |

The seller might be claiming that it's an 1886, but you won't know for sure unless you actually see the coin, something you can't do with that photo.  |

 But Tony is right, one cannot know for sure from that photo! To answer your question, I would pass on it, but you might bid on it as if it were a common date, AG "details" IHC. The picture might keep away the $40+ bidders. Who knows, you might get lucky and it ends up being a decent coin. |

That's a good point, Jbuck. I actually looked into doing that but I think the shipping cost alone is higher than the value of that coin, unless it's seriously in better condition than what I would imagine.

It's an 1886 cent and it looks like Hub #1.
And to answer the question, no you shouldn't bid on it.
