Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 08/23/2018 7:47 pm Ferreted this out of a bin of "junk" coppers today. I imagine most would judge the design as being rather pedestrian, but I think owing to its simplicity it's actually aesthetically pleasing. About the diameter of a U.S. half dollar, but only 1.2 mm thick. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/23/2018 8:02 pm I like the look of it, as well as the toning. What did it cost you and what is it worth? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7936 Posts	Posted 08/23/2018 8:40 pm That's a great find. These often have some small (or large) rim dings that detract from their appearance. I've had a few nice Azores coppers, and guess it might fetch $30 or so on ebay if you're patient. Report this Post to the Staff

As part of a larger group, I suppose it worked out to my paying about $1 for it. As for what it's "worth" the "book" value in XF40 is $25, and in MS60 $75, but I'd think the number of collectors looking for one of these would be vanishingly small (perhaps even in Portugal) and thus the market very thin.

So the market for a high grade example like yours is thin, but there is a market. Report this Post to the Staff
