krhudson1 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 12/19/2018 2:48 pm This was my first acquisition, years ago when I visited a coin shop in Galena, IL as a Cub Scout. It's always been my favorite. I bought it ungraded, but it looks Uncirculated to me. Hard to capture the color in the photos, but it's a very reddish brown. Report this Post to the Staff

krhudson1 Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 12/19/2018 3:41 pm Thanks for the comments, everyone. John1, no I have not researched this coin. It's been that "keeper" in the back of the safe. However, now that I have two kids in college, I'm starting to look into the current value of my items. Regards, Kevin Report this Post to the Staff
