    No, more like $65 thousand. ;) It’s properly graded as an AU-55.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Here is one that is a bit more affordable. I bought this 1900 $2.50 when I was in high school circa 1965. It came from a camera and record store which had a coin board in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. NGC gave it an MS-62. I thought that it was a little better. This was the type coin in my eight piece gold set, which was in a Capital Plastics holder.

    Thanks for sharing the backstory on the piece ...I find it much more interesting when there is a story with posted photos. I wish more of us would say more about the pictures of their coins.

    After moaning and complaining about $2.79, I filled up today
    for $2.52.
    @CaptHenway I believe the U.S. is going to send some Naval
    support to the area.

    I haven't seen $2.50 since the month after the current
    administration was voted in. Oh the Humanity!!

    $2.15 currently here. It’ll be under $2 before too long.

    Haha, $2.15 just covers the tax per gallon here in my part of California.

    $2.09 now this evening
