Grey Sheet says a C-5 in AU-50 is $400. If it is a DETAILS coin then think 50% of that ($200).
What they said. A nicer coin than mine except mine is a straight grade.
Didn't know that. And none of my references (all 2 of them :() reference a "first day" which is why I didn't know. [15 minutes later] Ah ha! I...
