The way coin presses are designed, two identical side dies won’t fit into the press. A few years ago, this type of coin would have been worth around $10.00, but today, they are being mass produced, even the penny, nickel and dime. Some recent auction prices were in the range of $1.00 to $3.00, and these type of coins are not as desirable as they once were.
