Just a word of warning, these things have been very heavily faked over the years. The fake ones are many times more common than real ones.

How about some pics?
Have you had the coins authenticated?

There are dozens if not hundreds of design and die varieties. Some are very rare, some are rather common, most have been counterfeited. Good luck.

A good portion of the counterfeits from the '60s will stick to a magnet. if you get past that-go to the next step.
