<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 2667758, member: 23368"]It might/could sell between $35 and $65. It's all about timing and condition. I think the portrait side you submitted is more likely to be the obverse. It's not in the greatest condition. It is only a R-2 or R-4 on the rarity scale, so that's not helping you any. You may want to check out Heritage Gallery. They are one of the better auction houses and they will give you comparison pricing for it over the years. You will have to join their site to get access, but I have been with them for 15 to 20 years and get close to nothing in advertising from them. Your next option would be to go to a local coin show and present it. Dealers will give you a discounted price, add about 50% on to their price to get retail value. You can also ask what it should be insured for if you include it in your collection. That number would be full retail. Just like doctors, go get another opinion from a second or third dealer. Remember, you have selling costs to cover once sold.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the Fuld book is concerned, either a large library in a major city, or the Library Of Congress.
