<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rick, post: 54768, member: 1235&quot;]In the standard catalog of world coins, the date of your coin is listed with a pretty low mintage. Of course, without a picture, it would be hard to say if it&#039;s fake - the catalog lists values ranging from 30 dollars in fine to 600 in uncirculated (which, if you pulled it out of a flower bed, it probably ranges toward the 30 dollar range more likely, at best, than not). If you have a scale, it should weigh in at 25 grams even. That&#039;s the first authentication point. If you can get a picture scanned and posted, someone here would, undoubtably, be able to give you better feedback. Short of that, I would take it to a professional in your area - so they can look at your coin in person.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sorry, I just reread your post about driving the brackets through the bust.&nbsp; That is truly unfortunate.&nbsp; A coin with that sort of damage retains really no real numismatic value... I&#039;m sorry to say, that your coin is probably worth the silver in the content.&nbsp; Maybe a little more.&nbsp; Like I said, it has a fairly low mintage - but if the damage is severe, it would be difficult to find a buyer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
