Estimated Value

$0.25 - $2.00 (Value depends on condition and mint mark; circulated examples are worth face value).

Care Instructions

To maintain the coin's condition, store it in a PVC-free plastic holder or a cardboard coin flip. Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives, as this can severely decrease collector value.
