Rotated B ( Brisbane ) Counterstamp $1 coin- CLOSED

[Ozcoins]

For 'one off' errors, it is definitely a case of 'beauty (desirability) is in the eye of the beholder'

[robbiegal]

I agree with Oz,

the mint marked one dollar coins collectors are the ones who will determine a retail value
and when it's a one off then the seller needs to be cautious to get the best price


I think AC had a coin that was not mint marked at the ANDA show earlier this year (?) might be wrong, but these are the fairly rare mintmark errors

anyways, i reckon stick to yer guns and be selling in the right market place accums

the decimal collectors will guide you in the right direction & again good luck with the sale

This is absolutely the best advice I reckon.

Its next to impossible to put a hard price on anything which is a one-off. Why is the Mona Lisa worth so much more than any other painting from the same period? They're all one-offs, right?

If you want a grand, or six, or fifty, well, that's your business. If someone wants to pay that, great. If not, well, either you get to keep it or revise your price accordingly. It really does come down to what someone will pay.

Personally, and just because others have expressed an opinion, I reckon a unique item like this should be worth serious money. But with the distortions in the collecting community, I think it might be an uphill battle to realise anything more than pocket change for an item that doesn't have a long and distinguished pedigree (read snob value).

I wouldn't mind making a serious offer for the coin but I think the No Mint Mark coins are a bit better option, if I had the spare cash that is.

Good luck in your quest for "bags of money".

the no mint-mark coin was returned to the minting guy at the RAM counterstamp press...
ahh $1000 would have been nice, it would have paid for my trip, now I have to work twice as hard to get in front this month.

[ausjack]

I wanna be good :give_rose: but yeah a spare K would be nice alright, I don't have that much but I do have some stuff I'd like you to suss and tell me what you think and if ya lucky we might even make a deal or two..but ya gotta be good and learn how to set your own line but I will show you to start :winkextra: but only 'cause I'm so nice :laugh2:
oh, so ya'd wanna cach something or we'll be singing for our supper, don't worry if worst comes to worst we'll go to Nako Blue and get some fish and chips :laugh2:

[robbiegal]

fish and chip sis always a good feed!!
as long as the fish is barra and the chips are cooked in first class oil (just my humble but fussy opinion - 'me mum used to own a fish and chip shop!!)

now let's get back on topic!! ha ha

thanks AC - I did vaguely recall you having something to do with one of those errors

Accums may get a private message nibble from of the keen error collectors here, never know, as there are over 200 registered members in this forum - just checked - there are nearly 300 members in this forum

You're kidding???

I thought it was just a dozen or so of us. :angel:

[runway]

Well, the last portable press error $1's were selling at 5.5K to 6.5K & there were several of them so imo this coin has to be worth more than those.

Sorry I don't think so can you substantiate that with evidence accumulator? So your coin is worth more than what?

[accumulator]

No runway,you know as well as i do as Markn  pointed out there have been no recorded sales of the coins in question.
Do any of you have proof that my coin is not worth that much,i think not !
I think it quite amazing how some march to the beat of a different drum since certain comments have been made here.

[Unicorn]

Hang in there Accumulator, someone will want it. Despite my opinion of him, see if Shanew on CCF wants it, he seems always willing to pay good money for unique errors.

[Robster]

:yeah_what_she_said: Shanew would be a great start.!! :idea:

[Fulvio]

Hang in there Accumulator, someone will want it.

Definitely. Heck, I'd want it, but with my current housing crisis I can't buy anything right now.

[markn]

I don't like where this thread is going.  On one hand we have someone who has a unique coin who believes a coin is worth X.  And we've had some reasoned opinions (and a couple of un-reasoned ones) who suggest the coin is worth some fraction of X.  It's inevitable that people from both sides are going to end up getting upset one way or another.  Unless someone can come up with a compelling reason why this thread should remain, or Accumulator makes it a proper for sale thread (by naming a price for his coin) then I'm going to remove it in seven days from now (Wednesday December 18).  If it gets ugly before then I will remove it at my discretion.

[Fulvio]

Good call Mark.

Stick a price on it and see who bites, definitely.
