Was picking up my wallet, keys, etc, and noticed this in my pile o' change. Of course, I had to get a macro shot of it.  Rather beat up, but I've never run across one of these before.

That's WAY older than me, and probably worth more as well......:P

Nice detail, is the coin worth much? 

Wasn't me :)

1936, no mint mark ... there were 118,997,000 minted.  There aren't many circulating so it's worth something.  It looks to be in better than "good" condition, maybe "very good."  So I'd guess more than $0.46, less than $1.00.

:agree:  I did look it up at the time, and best guess is $0.75. It appears to classify as very good given the amount of detail that remains. But as said, there were lots of them minted at the time. This is not one of the rare ones.

Some kid must have stolen coins from their parents collections. These older coins rarely are found in circulation otherwise...
