    Just wanted to put this out there and see if this is real! My mom is a waitress and this was given as a tip...

    Yes it is real! I have a few of them. Since it has the date that will add alittle to the value. From what I've been seeing them sell for, and from looking at what I've been paying for them, I would put the value at anywhere from $9-$20.

    Nice find!

    Thanks Speedy

    I'll let Mom know. She will probably keep it, not sell, which is fine.

    I have one that I paid $25 that looks pretty much like this one. It is about the same % off center, but it is a 1999-D.
    If you do put it on ebay I would suggest maybe putting photos that are alittle larger. While these are alright some guys would want them bigger.

    Grizz - It's not up to me! Mom has final say-so...

    Speedy - Would have done bigger pics here, but there is a KB limit, that is why I 'zoomed' and rescanned...

    Topher - Thanks...

    Treashunt - Thanks...

    Just a thought:
    Are you located in Milwaukee?
    Sometimes the ANA does 'coin drops' during the conventions, there was one there last week.

    Treashunt - No, Chi-town and never been to one of these conventions.:(

    Bqcoins - I agree, but as I said, it was left as a tip to a waitress. Perhaps whomever left it knew what it was and what it was worth. Mom's a very good waitress! Who knows...:p

    Coinlover - Thanks...:rolleyes:
