Hello everyone. New to site. Picked this coin up from an individual for $5. What do you think?

I think you got a great deal. It's worth a lot more than that!

 

$15-60 bucks depending on condition.

 

Nice looking coin. I like the natural look. I'd say EF from the pictures, but that's a SWAG.

 

The coin has 0.1396 ounces of silver in it. At $21 per ounce that equates to about $3 in silver.

My Krause catalog lists 420,000 pieces minted with catalog value of $8 in Fine condition and $13 in Very Fine.

 

IMO the coin grade is below EF. Based on the photos, my SWAG would be F15 (or VF20 on a sunny day).

 

Thanks, I guess she's a keeper. I actually purchased several foreign coins from the individual. I'll post pictures.
