$0.50 to $2.00 (Current market value is often just face value for circulated coins; higher prices are achieved for uncirculated or proof versions).
Care Instructions
Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives, as this can destroy its numismatic value. Store in a PVC-free plastic holder or a cool, dry place to prevent environmental damage.
