<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Dore, post: 3201205, member: 96515"]I agree, an 1896 o isn't worth much in fine condition like the one that was pictured in the ad, however it is a low montage date on that year and one that is in AU condition is worth about $100 or more. One in MS could go for thousands of dollars. It is likely that it's not one that was intended to be passed off as a higher graded coin for top dollar, judging by the way it was marketed, but I think the possibility exists that maybe it was one that they tried to pass off as a highly graded coin and failed so they tried to sell it to someone looking for a coin at cull pricing just to cut their losses.</p><p><br /></p><p> I realize that this theory is a bit of a stretch and I do agree that it likely is not silver, but at this point since nothing I've checked has been able to prove that it is not, I'm not 100% convinced yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
