Was $50 a reasonable price? http://s766.photobucket.com/albums/xx302/miketmmil/?action=view¤t=scan0017.jpg&newest=1 http://s766.photobucket.com/albums/xx302/miketmmil/?action=view¤t=scan0016.jpg&newest=1
$50 was, I'm afraid, a bit too much. The coin looks like a dipped 58-62. I'd pay no more than $20. Buy the book before the coin!!! Don't be a clueless buyer!
The photo/scan looks like an MS62 to MS63. When I finally got to looking at the date I thought I saw 1893 but then I blinked & saw it ended in an 8.
