Nice find - as far as condition it's an easy 64 - maybe even a gem. Watch for that split plating thought - air will react with the exposed zinc and corrosion will eventually start - get it in an Air-tite capsule. Report this Post to the Staff

Echo1711 New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 04/01/2026 10:42 pm Thank you everyone for your expertise and advice. I have 3 questions as a follow-up. Is the split plating what I am seeing above the "T"s in STATES? What would be an acceptable air tight container and where should I buy it? What is the best way to research the value of the coin, PCGS and ebay don't really agree? & Report this Post to the Staff

What would be an acceptable air tight container and where should I buy it? What is the best way to research the value of the coin 1) Yes - the copper plating was pulled during the strike and split showing the zinc core. 2) Not an "Air tight container" but an "Air-tite" plastic coin capsule - buy on ebay or a coin supply store. 3) Easiest to check for value is ebay "Sold" items pages.
