$5.00 - $20.00 USD (Highly dependent on condition; the pictured example exhibits significant corrosion/verdigris which lowers value).

Care & preservation

Store in a dry environment to prevent further corrosion. Do not attempt to clean with harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as this will damage the soft white metal. Use an airtight container or specialized numismatic holder.
