coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/11/2015 3:59 pm Too much glare to tell for sure. (but looks interesting) Try to diffuse the light a bit. That would help. Report this Post to the Staff
cjspearsdog Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 09/11/2015 4:18 pm The pointed "9" and the "E" in liberty seem like dead giveaways to me. I will try to get a better pic but the plastic case makes it really difficult. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/11/2015 10:17 pm Still a lot of glare. But it looks like a Small date to me. Nice find. You might try adding a diffuser like white bond paper/ facial tissue/ or white grocery plastic bag. (Don't let the diffuser touch the bulb) Edited by coop 09/11/2015 10:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

OspreyCoins Pillar of the Community United States 932 Posts	Posted 09/12/2015 06:22 am Around $90 as a Gem Proof, but this is hard to put a price on as a specific coin. Report this Post to the Staff
rayof315 Valued Member United States 241 Posts	Posted 09/12/2015 06:54 am There's a couple up for auction on ebay right now if you want to check them out. Raw generally goes for over $50.00. Slabbed and certified for a lot more. Report this Post to the Staff

cjspearsdog Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 09/12/2015 2:01 pm I bought it for $8. I usually grab all the 1970 sets I see for under $10. This is the second one that I hit on. Here is the first one https://goccf.com/t/151359 Unfortunately I cut that one up before I realized what I had. Report this Post to the Staff
