    I have NO clue what coin this is, where it comes from, or its metal content. One of my family members picked it up for fifty cents at an oddball shop.

    Can someone give me some info. Ya'll are better than online price guides, so thats the reason I bug ya'll so much.....

    my krause is old (2006), but it says 50¢ for unc, $1 for BU. someone else may have a more recent value for it.

    Your coin appears lower grade.

    The 20 r is grossly undervalued in BU. There were only 10,000 of these in mint sets and not many were set aside. The mint sets have had high attrition due to their low price and that many were distributed in the US. The packaging is OK though so few get tarnished.
