The value is not what's cool or what I like about this coin. It's almost 100 years old and what I think is cool is the coins journey from the mint to my hands,and all the hands it's been through along that journey. It's been through wars and a depression through several presidents and has been in the hands of rich and poor and somehow I was lucky enough to have it. Now it's my turn to take care of it. That's what's cool and that why I like it.
