    The 1997 S Proof 5 cent, is valued at about $3 in Proof-65.
    As slightly circulated, scratched?
    Perhaps 25 cents?

    Funny, but, I got the same coin, a 1997 S proof in change this weekend, at the $1 store.

    Kinda neat.

    That would be a very long reach!
    He is in Wisconsin, I'm in NY

    But, that would have been funny!

    Possibly stolen from a collection.

    I collectected for many years, only to have everything stolen by one of my wife's relatives.
    He used most of it to play pinball.
    The rest, he unloaded to a flea market dealer.

    My worthless brother in law took a strap of $5 red seals I had from my grandfather and spent them on a weekend out on the town. He had 3 left when I got a hold of him.
