Estimated Value

$40.00 - $150.00 (varies greatly based on wear; the shown specimen appears heavily circulated/damaged)

Care Instructions

Store in a PVC-free coin holder to prevent chemical corrosion. Do not clean or polish the coin, as this removes the patina and significantly lowers its numismatic value. Handle only by the edges using clean hands.
