About a dollar. $3-$7 dollars is average up to $12 in near perfect shape.

The coin is probably worth about $1.
Edward "Weary" Dunlop was an Australian surgeon who was captured by the Japanese in WWII. At one stage he was in charge of work on the infamous Burma-Thailand railway.
He remained there until the war ended, labouring tirelessly to save wounded, sick and malnourished men. Many times he put his own life at risk as he stood up to the brutality of his Japanese captors. Though not the only medical officer to act in this selfless way, his name was to become a legend among Australian prisoners of war and an inspiration for their own survival.

Just curious. Depth found? Would the Scuba Tector found it- at say 3"?
