The denomination is fascinating, much more that you would ever have in a 20th century coin. Even the 1955 double date had a mintage in the tens of thousands. My gut says that they will hold value much more than a modern coin. However, go for quality and avoid scudzy coins. You should be able to find a nice F-12 (using the much tougher EAC grading) for around $400.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition to considering only top tier TPGs, you might want to consider some of the most reputable Early American Copper dealers <a href="http://www.eacs.org/links.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.eacs.org/links.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.eacs.org/links.html</a>. These guys know early coppers better than the guys working at the TPGs and can be relied upon to supply you with quality specimens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
