About what is this worth? Both sets of photos were taken with different lights. P.S. If it's only worth melt, I still made a profit.
No, even though it looks to have met its match with a cheese grater, it is still worth $100-150 conservatively. It's still a key early commem with a modestly low mintage.
You would both be paying the same thing it was free . BTW it's not for sale. The story is on that thread about your best finds, but I couldn't find it so I will say it again (simplified): Someone I knew gave me their childhood collection for free, and I found this in it .
