ozzysdad47

I know that i spoke to forum member Farthing about this coin, All i can remember is that he said it was the "Rare one" , Can anyone help me with the particular's. Also what the value might be? I plan on listing it on the next weekly BST. Farthing if your out there, HELP!!!!!

It's the scarce one, Obv 2 (cross points between two beads), Rev A (F points between two beads). Freeman rates it as R9 (7,001-12,000 pieces extant). That's not particularly rare given that there were 40,000 proof sets struck - you have anywhere from a 17.5% to 30% shot of finding one in a 1953 proof set.


I estimate its value at about $100, based on my last available catalogue.

Thank you so much Wybrit for taking the time to help. My computer crashed last night and i have had one heck of a time trying to retrive alot of programs, I did get my pictures back, I'm running XP and now i am trying to figure out how to recover my documents that i had scanned, You aren't by chance a computer whiz too are you?


Many thank's, Ozzysdad47/ Brad....

Im no expert but run the simple recovery program from XP and pic a recovery date BEFORE the date it crashed.
Has worked for me before.
