[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 3127467, member: 90692"]From ngccoin.com....ms63/$3.30, ms64/$5.50 and ms65/$7.00. As posted earlier in this thread by Dunk 2, ms63s are selling for $1.99, and it looks like a better grade ms66 sold for $19.95. To put your coin in perspective for you, if you found it unprotected in your change and it has evidence of wear, it is an impaired proof that cannot now grade higher than au58+. The wear sustained now outside of its protective holder means its condition is less than "mint state". The sad result is you may only be able to sell it for .50 cents to a dollar, and you should not expect to sell it for more than that. I suspect someones relative passed away and heirs used proof set coins to pay for something. This injected them into circulation and permanently damaged their proof surfaces. This illustrates gross ignorance by the heirs and IMHO, is one of the most harmful things that can happen to a coin, short of using one for target practice...Spark Note: edited to fix faulty grammar, much thanks to [USER=2098]@NOS[/USER][/QUOTE]
