<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3063736, member: 36230"]The coin shown in the OP is not worth a premium, nor is the one shown in the quoted post. Neither is what (in context) could be considered "high grade", nor from what I can see do they display any error or variety that would make them worthy of a premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don't know why you're so concerned with "worth" nor is it any of my business, but I will say that unless you're asking solely for the purpose of valuing coins you may like and/or collect, you're heading down an unfortunate path. Far too many new to this hobby see nothing but dollar signs when they look at a coin instead of trying to see it for what it is. Now, there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to make a little money off of coins or this hobby, but it's simply not as easy as many assume and even more like to claim (think YouTube or any other of a number of garbage websites).
