Coin Dies

I have a $0.10 1998 decommissioned die with authentication paperwork and also a 1998 $0.01 die that was decommissioned also with paperwork. They merely have the striker removed. Are they worth anything?

My first thought when reading the title was 'my condolences'.

Anyway, I'm surprised to see that dies are being sold, for the same reason some posters have already pointed out. I haven't seen any on offer here for as long as I remember. I understand that they're first fully defaced before getting in the public realm, but to me it'd be no fun in having ugly paperweights which are barely recognizable as coin dies.

Hawaii Statehood (low volcano variety) so called half dollar dies. Defaced with scratches.

I plan to make a coin show exhibit with the dies and Hawaii Statehood so called dollars...

I wonder when the Chinese will make fake dies for no longer issued coins?

They already do. They just aren't selling them yet.

I have one coin die in my collection. It's an uncanceled 1908 Bolivian 50 Centavos Coin Die half along with the matching coin with corresponding matching die cracks on both the die and the coin. The coin is an earlier die state than the die itself but I'm pretty confident that I have an uncanceled coin die and the exact coin that it struck in 1908.

Some back story on the items: I bought the coin die off of ebay several years ago from a seller in Argentina who said that he got it from the estate sale of the former Argentinian mint director with a hand full of other uncanceled coin dies. About a year later I found the coin on ebay from a seller in the United States and then I sent the coin to NGC to be certified. Please see the photos and let me know what you think and please let me know if you have any questions for me.
