I bought this coin for $4.00 or $5.00 at the flea market. Notice the O under the Eagle. That means it was minted at the New Orleans Mint which has since closed. It also means this coin had a mintage of a little over 2 million which is nothing compared to its 6 million mintage Philly counterpart. It is from the first year of issue which is another plus and always a must have for those who collect every date and mint mark. Because of its small mntage and because it is so worn, it is worth about $10.00. Still, it is worth two times what I paid for it.
