another coin from the collection I just bought.
It's a little rough, would it be worth more then the melt value of the gold?

No, this is a melt value coin. It's a common date with VF/XF Details and worth about $375.

I think it will go for a small premium on ebay. I've been buying these on ebay for a junk roll for a while, and I would say about $390(though after fees you'd probably get melt). However, I did win one under melt recently, but that seems to be the exception. Still, it's gold, and gold is hot!

If I ever manage to get a gold coin, you could not get me to part with it even if you offered me 10 times melt for it.
