Hello all! I would like some help with this coin. My husband received it as change when he bought lunch. We want to keep it as it came from the Carson mint but I was curious on the value of it. Any help you guys have is appreciated.   |

 Probably worth more than his lunch! With the wear and graffiti "X" on obverse side you're probably looking at $15 to $20 retail. A coin or pawn shop would like offer half of that amount. Thanks for sharing! |

Thank you for the information! I have always wanted to find a coin from the Carson City mint since I live in the area and I love the museum that is now housed in the old mint building. We will definitely be keeping it no matter what.

In over 50 years I never found something like this in circulation. Not everyone gets to win the lottery. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
