Is that a gouge above the birds head

 

I haven't seen the coin in-hand, but it appears to be a void in the planchet.

 

what is a void? A planchet flaw?

 

Yep. A small planchet flaw.

 

Beautiful coin about 1000 made . Will you take 10 X face , lol . Hey Frank tries it all the time .

 

Nice even strike on her too with great eye appeal , wish I could afford it .

 

I know nobody likes to use the red book, but just for grins I looked it up: MS-60 is listed as $9,000 and MS-63 is listed at $19,000. Split the difference and you get about $14,000 for the coin.

Too bad you don't have two. I would only buy them if they came in a set.

 

my redbook says it's worth $300.00

 

What year is your Redbook? Or am I looking up the wrong thing...

 

1967

 

In '67 you could actually buy something with a cent , if you had $1 you could by a 45 rpm record with change left over .

 

Wasn't much cheaper in 1959 $140 in Unc. which was the highest grade listed .

 

That's a smashing coin Matt, one of the nicest reeded edges I've ever seen. Judging by your walkins, there must be a good number of high end collectors in your area.

 

Every 40 years you should buy a new one.

Do you know that they made something called 'States quarters'?

Amazing things have happened over 40 + years

 

Matt:

GR-1 is also the only die used in that year

 

Funny thing you said that...

Where would you like the invoice sent?? LOL!!!

 

Are you kidding me!

Wait, I have to find that lotto ticket, it's around here somewhere...
