So this coin is normally pretty common, but for this date and mint you should always check the edge. If the lettering is printed into the coin it's common. But if you get raised lettering it's a seriously rare coin. Numista lists the mintage for the normal indented edge at over 6 million, and for the relief edge just over 4000. Picked this up during my travels and not only is it rare but it hasn't been messed with and looks nice and original.
