Italiian 100 L 1957 Conflict Or Info

It's not just Italians; for all coin collectors everywhere, value is very strongly dependent on condition. Here is the NGC database page for this coin; as you can see, prices range from 30 cents to 25 dollars, depending on condition. It does not list it as a particularly expensive coin; even in top grades it's only worth US$25, so unless the Italians know something that the people who write the Krause catalogue don't know, the people saying it's "valued at 200" (dollars? euros?) are wrong.

@spongbob, if you do a sold items search on ebay, you will see that circulated examples of this coin sell for between about $1 and $4.

This series of Italian coins is deceptive because the stainless steel does not wear very much, but it does acquire a lot of fine scratches. So it is easy to think the coin is in a higher grade than a buyer would think. (cameras are very cruel to these coins)

I have sold a few of these 1950s and 1960s Italian coins on ebay ... ALWAYS for less than I think I will get. This semi-key 1959 50 lire coin got me a great big $2.50, and it has only 1/10 the mintage of your coin. I have tried selling a 1957 100 lire in a lot with other 100 lire coins at under $3 and never succeeded.
