Bought both of these for a total of $8. The 1897 is the "1 in neck" variety and in the grade (VF) should be worth about $200. The 1894 is the "1894/1894" RPD variety and in the grade should be worth about $25-$50. Nice coins for the variety set! It pays to know what to look for.....educate yourself and you can find some nice deals on tough varieties!
