Like the title of my op intoduction post says I'm new to all of this. Which I posted maybe 10 minuets ago haha. I know basically nothing honestly. But thank you for the information. All is appreciated.
No idea - they minted quite a few. ?full Steps would be worth a grundle. What have they sold for at auction?
No. I collect ancient Roman coins and am unfamiliar with the US coin market. There were more than 1 BILLION minted, though.
From what I spent I feel an hour searching for was a wide range. So I finally made an account here to ask people who know. There's a dealer locally but I want to know if I'm being swindled or not with their offer. Or if it's not really worth anything I just want to hold onto it because it's beautiful. The picture posted is an image I stumbled upon.
My cameras not the best forewarning. It stood put from the rest when I was rolling up my change so I decided to look it up. I feel it's not made of the same material theyre made of today.
It is a pretty limited collector base, but they are avid. No idea if you have been given a fair offer - it is worth what someone is willing to pay. NGC doesn't list a retail price, even though they graded it.
The original photo you posted is of a coin graded MS67 which is a very high grade. Coins are graded on a 70 point scale. The coin you posted later is well circulated and far lower grade. It’s worth much less. In my opinion it’s only worth face value.
The coin you own is worth 5 cents. It is made of the same metal alloy then as now (75% copper/25% nickel).
As stated, the coin you pictured in the slab is quite valuable, yours however is worth five cents. Condition is everything.
