Historical Significance

Estimated Value

$0.50 - $2.00 (Face value in circulated condition; higher or premium for uncirculated or high-grade mint specimens)

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place within an acid-free coin holder or sleeve. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as this can cause micro-abrasions that significantly lower its numismatic value.
