Yeah, I would agree with you. How much do you estimate the cud would be worth? Also, how much would the damage take away from its value? I tried to take it to a coin shop in the area and they immediately said that they don't deal with items like that. I'd hate to put it up on eBay and sell it for 50 cents, only to find out later that it was worth a couple of hundred dollars. Where can I get it appraised?
