Dear Oc Franklin,
Thank you for your email.
The United States Mint does not appraise, authenticate, grade or buy coins. We recommend that you contact a local coin dealer to determine the authenticity and value of your coin. Dealers can examine coins, discuss elements that comprise value--age, condition, rarity, metallic content, and suggest prices. If local yellow pages don't list coin dealers, check the Internet, as many have web sites. You can also contact the American Numismatic Association at 1-800-367-9723 for assistance in locating a dealer.
We hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
United States Mint
