There are 3 varieties of this coin. Two of the varieties retail for about the same money in average circulated condition (grade=Fine) which is $160.00. The third variety starts getting expensive even in this grade and retails for approx $300.00.

To get a better feel for the value take the coin to several dealers and ask them what they think it grades out at and how much they would pay for the coin. Remember he is going to offer you about 60% of retail since he is in the business to make a living and he does not control the retail price the collector market does.

A collector might offer a little more since he or she is not looking to resell the coin at a profit.

If you want to try to grade the coin yourself you could go to the library and see if they have a coin grading book you can use. It generally takes a lot of practice to get good at grading coins which is why I suggested taking it to a dealer.

Good luck.
