i didn't know I was that old either. It was the most I spent on a coin during that era I think. Franklin's in BU were $1.50. Earned $5 for mowing...
Yes. A lot to spend using lawn mowing money. Funny, an inflation calculator says $3.75 is roughly $30 today, which is exactly the NGC price guide....
Gosh, this coin was only 100 years old when I bought it. Now it's over 150. [ATTACH] Still in dealer's 2x2. [ATTACH]

XF Details - Mount Removed
The wheat is pretty bald on the obverse too. Thanks for your vigilance.
