I honestly don't know. I don't have any proofs older than 1956 or so, and most of my impaired proofs are lightly-circulated Kennedy halves, so I...
Probably not four figures, unless I find a collector whose particular obsession is holed AND engraved coins. :) A quick eBay sold-items check...
Not compared to a decent stock portfolio. It was certainly better than tucking four greenbacks under the mattress, and probably better than...
At today's local coin show, a guy at the next table was asking how much rolls of 2013 ASEs were going for. The dealer said "$575", and the guy had...
