I have one of those, raw, not as good a condition as yours it would seem. Got it for $45 from a Charlottesville dealer.

HK-155. Brass, Small letters legend. Slightly more scarce than HK-154 (Large Letters Legend). Struck at and issued from the U.S. Mint Building Exhibit at the Exposition. They are eligible for grading ATS. I have seen this issue in grades as high as MS-65, but the majority of them didn't fare as well against time and environment. I consider examples in Choice Mint State to be a value opportunity. There are a few (3-4) known examples of HK-154a, the Large Letters Legend, made of aluminum.

What coindeuce said. Raw, you'd be lucky to get $20. Could be worth $50-60 if slabbed.

Unfortunately the spots on both sides of the above are the major limiting factor for value. They are available near perfect for the prices mentioned above.

For $20 I'll buy it for my own collection. Lol
