nlp coins Pillar of the Community United States 2373 Posts	Posted 04/22/2010 6:15 pm This coin belongs to a friend of mine and wondered what it actually is and also the FMV for such. I couldn't give him a definitive answer and hope some of the knowledgable members could chime in. The coin is free of marks, those showing are on the plastic encasement. Thanks. nlp Report this Post to the Staff

Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 04/22/2010 6:54 pm 200th Anniversary of John MacIntosh. That's the BU version (there is also a proof version), sells for in or around 13-15 dollars. Retails in coin shops for 25.00 BU Mintage 58,834 . Report this Post to the Staff

Dollar1948 Pillar of the Community Canada 636 Posts	Posted 04/25/2010 09:30 am I've got all the commerative silver dollars, however this particular one I have it in BU. I must say the proof version is much more pleasing to look at. I always wondered why for a number of years during that period the mint skimped out on their packaging and never used the clam shell cases, but the cheap plastic cases we see above. It also amazes me that the BU always has a smaller mintage but never ever seems to demand a premium over the proof version. I know, I know, pricing is based on demand and nothing else..but still.
