[QUOTE="hamman88, post: 228490, member: 7950"]Just like the 1883 with cents. Also I looked at the coin some more, looks au59 (i've never even heard of one). The pictures are very bad BTW. Also I learned some things from this pruchase and 2 other with it. 1. Always bring your Red Book. I don't know most prices by heart and you can't trust what the dealer says. (he said the book value was $25) 2. Carfully examine coins fist. I didn't look very hard at it and the lighting was bad. I also paid $5 for a 1891 v nickel which was very very damaged (I don't know how I missed it) 3. Don't let the dealer sucker you in. If the dealer says something, assume the opposite. He misled me a bit saying how it was a BU coin and how rare it was. 4. Double and triple check the prices of the coins before buying. I paid $5 for a NZ cent proof. I don't know why, but I thought it was less. (BTW he does have an excellent selection of ferners :) and prices on them (well.. not anymore, I bought the good ones :)))[/QUOTE]
