from 1882 or something like that. $5 coin. She wants to know if it's worth something.

She bought it as a favor to a relative of ours for like $30 lol, its very similar to this one:

they're called liberty head dollars.. and it really depends on the condition of the coin. my dad does a lot of coin collecting (and so does emmy's)

theres a bunch of coin collector websites, do a bit of research

I'd say it's worth about five bucks or so.

Well, it's gold, and it's in perfect condition. It's into this gold thing, you can't take it out but it's a beautiful work.

I'll post some pictures for you boiis.

I'll give you 10,000 pesos for it.

Wait, our money is worth shit now. So a peso is probably $10.

We used to have "Colón", that's ¢8.75 for $1. Now we use US$ as a currency.
