Congratulations! You certainly can't go wrong for a dime on that one.
Paddy, That's very nice. I am a Jefferson nickel collector, and I would buy one in a second. I've been looking, but I haven't seen one in years.
Paddy, I don't think that's the right view to take. If people start thinking that way, that's when the big guys win. Lots of successful suits...

Sorry to be "not so nice." All I did was go to eBay and check the completed listings. I didn't believe the price in the previous post, and if...
Here we go. This may be what you have. I thought the coin I had was 2000, but I could be wrong. It appears the coins were struck on planchets...
