Even tho the 1940 D was the low mintage of the 1940's (2.797 million) it is not worth a whole bunch, except in unc.
It's not a key or really a semi-key, but the photo is nice! It's not a key or really a semi-key, but the photo is nice!
Never heard of photographer before: He does have a web site: Bio from: Erik Dalzen was born in Provo, Utah in 1983. He received a Bachelors of Fine Art degree in photography from Brigham Young University in 2007. He has participated in multiple group shows and had his first solo show in March 2007. Erik currently lives and works in New York. I would have no idea how much a print is worth??
It obviously isn't a scam. The title says "(photograph of)" so there really isn't any falling for. And who knows, if the coin itself is only worth its silver value than the photograph is probably a lot more likely to appreciate.
