Just be thankful you get a cake!
Those cheesy NuGrade slabs with the funny fonts always make me chuckle, and think of grape soda, for some reason. :hilarious: [IMG]
The focus setting on the camera, for one thing. ;) A 1939 cent is not plated. That's only a thing with post-1982 zinc cents.
Looks like they cross the $200 mark once you get up into MS60 and beyond. Below that, they're in the $100s. Per Numismedia: $173 in XF40, on up...
Nice find!

You could always enter on someone else’s behalf, and nominate them to receive the prize if your entry wins the drawing. That’s how Round 2 played...
I’ve heard something like that, too. And I’ve got one in a 20+ year old NGC holder that has evidently “mellowed” from RB to BN over the decades....
@NonFloreatExxon, et al- By the way, I did come across three jetons/rechenpfennige that were from the 16th century, and I have bookmarked them...
OK, this was a challenging but fun search. In the end, I used the German rechenpfennig rather than the French jeton for my keyword. And for...
I've been on the wrong side of that equation on at least two occasions.
