Hello Everyone Newbie Here

That is a really nice looking piece! Being a gift, I would definitely leave it intact.

I had to put a better look of it. Guess or see I am now proud of this item. Was gonna give it to a friend of mine until I started looking at it. I love this community place especially the pic optimizer

Back in the mid-'70's the '71-D was considered a much better date and went for a few dollars per roll (50). It isn't often seen in rolls so it certainly wasn't saved in huge numbers like the pre-'65 issues but the two million in mint sets have swamped the small demand.

When collectors figure out that most of the mint sets are gone now and the survivors have ugly corroded cents the price will come back up.

if it were me, I would see if there are any coins in really good condition, like ms 66 or 67+, I would get those graded. That's just my opinion
