<p>[QUOTE="TheFinn, post: 3163004, member: 90102"]It has seen a lot of years. Unfortunately it is a common date, but still worth a dollar or so. Condition is the most important thing. There are coins that are rare, and sometimes there are coins that are rare in higher grades. My favorite example is the 1940 Irish Penny. There was a world coin dealer that offered $100 to anyone that could show him an uncirculated 1940 Irish Penny. He has been shown 2. It is a scarce coin circulated up to XF or AU, but when something gets issued in the beginning years of WWII in a poor country, there aren't that many people that can afford to put that away - you need to eat.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
