I'd grade it a VF-20 to EF-40. The obverse is real nice but the reverse might lower it to a VF-20.
I paid $26 for a similar coin on ebay in May 2006 plus $2 for S&H. Assuming some inflation and free delivery, I'll bet it sold for about $30.
The 2008 clad proof set is currently selling at about $55 on ebay. I'm glad that I purchased three of them from the US Mint. I hope a similar...
I like the computer because I can querry and sort easy, tabulate values, create tabs, link to websites that may contain other information about...
I find that half the fun of this hobby is the catologing of the coins. I have a spreadsheet that identifies every coin that I own, its...
I hate it when I can get the coin that I need to fill in the empty slot in my book but it is cheapest in a mint set. I get the set and can't...
I've been buying coins on ebay for several years. I can say that I have only one bad experience for a coin that I purchased for just $1. I never...
I'm not surprised either but I wouldn't quite give it an VF-20. It looks more like a F-12 to me but it isn't over the top at VF-20. I think the...
They may also be quoting the red book. I usually keep a 10-year version around because it typically provides the right price. I'm not sure where...

Boy, you guys are quick. This is a great site!
It is my first time with the pics and I apologize for the quality. As I mentioned earlier, it isn't a great quality coin (G-4 to VG-8). I hope...
I must say that HSN lured me into buying the Westward Nickel collection for about double the price of its real worth. I enjoy watching the show...
I really don't think that it is a fake. I'm not a grader but I've been collecting coins my entire life. My first love was collecting pennies. I...
I purchased a 1924-D Lincoln Penny on ebay in 2006 that had a 90 degree rotated die. I couldn't find anything on this unusual error on the...

You got some lovely coins! A Christmas gift for you.
I have three 2008 clad proof sets and three 2008 silver proof sets. Perhaps it will make up for the presidential first day of issue sets that I...
Boy, I got a lot of interest with this posting. I thought I bought the 1999 silver proof set for a great price of $272 at an auction. I'm now...
