There's no collectible value -- they were just clearing out several hundred of these things. You can turn the chainring around and mount it with the countersinking on the outside -- no problems.
ahh, i love it. good to know. so, suppose i mounted it with the lettering on the ouside and didnt use the recessed holes, would that be potentially dangerous or damaging? like i said, my last chainring had no recessed holes on either side.
