<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1504054, member: 36230"]You may want to check with a local B&M, especially if you have interest in these late silver-era PR nickels or cents. A lot of PR sets were scrapped in the run on silver, plus certain B&Ms were already often overstocked on such coins. Either way it would not surprise me if you could find the same, or even a much nicer coin for a fraction of what you paid. Also, "GEM" proof does not mean much with a date such as this as they really are norm. This too is a good example of when redbook values have little basis in reality. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not that there is anything wrong with your coin (as I cannot tell anything from the photo). My only point is that you most likely could have saved money by buying elsewhere. That said, for $3.50, if you enjoy it this is all that matters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
