It is in a case and well preserved. Only a few spots on it seem a little worn down. Other than that, it seems to be perfect. I was wondering if anyone knew about these?

Based on the pic the coin appears fairly well worn, I would guess it is VF ( very fine ) grade - a very nice coin It looks like it might have some porosity though - hard to say - it may just be the pic. But if it is VF - value would be around $75. If the next higher grade - that would double. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   03-03-2005, 11:10 PM   #3 (permalink) Splashback Junior Member   Join Date: Mar 2005 Posts: 2 Thanks, It might also be the plastic case it is in also.. The case isn't in good shape and wont let me photo it well. I also have a franklin mint set of sterling silver presidents coins from washington to nixon. And some kind of antique car a Franklin mint series 1 Antique car coin collection. I'm new to all this.. so I have no clue. I could also take pictures of these, but I have a feeling they aren't worth much anyways.   03-03-2005, 11:39 PM   #4 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 24,605 You're right about the Franklin Mint stuff - value is usually the bullion value. But there are those who collect the sets and some of the harder to find pieces sell for a few bucks on ebay. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
