Nothing within 250 miles of me on hibid and it doesnt seem like theres anything within a few hundred of me on proxi either. The downside of living in the middle of a desert i suppose. Might be a nice way to sell off the other stuff i have though.

Thank you!

Its either japanese or chinese. I think chinese cause of the symbols but i cant read either so i have no clue. Found it while sorting out some quarters.

Wow. That's a lot.

Ah okay. Bit odd they would do that for a few coins though considering their massive auction house.

Thanks! I didn't think heritage would just buy them instead of auction them. Aren't they supposed to be an auction house or is it a kinda fake auction thing? Just discovered a coin graded as a 2007 Silver Eagle 1st Day of Issue Burnished Planchet MS 70 I googled the different words but nothing seems to mention if its good or bad. Oh and another graded one had a little bit of the eagles rays from its sun missing. I wonder if that's bad...

Eh really? I never would have expected that you could just speak to the owner like that. Also i did start making an inventory today thanks to you. Seems like it will take a few days Thanks!

Lol. I'm still using them to. Grandpa left an entire box of eagle cases so i've been putting any fairly valuable coins like the walking liberty half dollars in them. I rather like their look.

Yeah that's the only one i have heard of before.

I was just wondering of other peoples opinion on this since i'm trying to sell off my grandfather's collection and generally where to sell them is confusing. It seems auctioning them is the best but i'm not sure what should be considered as auctionable. Also roughly how much should the grading cost of a coin be vs the cost of the coin itself? Whats the cut off on auctioning as well. Do i sell some $5 usa mint sets at auction or just the $70 silver sets etc. Should the us mint coins be graded or their sets? Do i even sell sets or lots of a specific coin or do i do it coin by coin etc. I am reading up on it more but its hard to find a clear answer. Doesn't help that my ability to tell one ms from another is horrible either. Here's a morgan silver dollar that i found today btw. I say ms65 but i know im wrong right? Its just the only shiny morgan ive ever seen so its either polished or ms65 eh? I also dont understand polished coins at all. Are they worthless or not? Everything makes it seems like polished is worth almost nothing. Generally what percent would a polished coin go for or are they just considered a specific grade and then a percent of that grade? Thanks for the help!

Thanks! Ah there's one that doesn't have extreme grading costs that are accepted as a good grader? I didn't know that. Thanks!

Unfortunately getting a grade from ngc or pcgs seems almost impossible due to the cost and the coins worth. At least i dont have that kind of money.

I have all 3 1948s to.

Thank you! I figured out how to resize and brought them down to 2100ish resolution but its individual coins. Gonna see if i can get them all on one page on imgur. Got it. Deleted the drive links and put up the imgur album. On the plus side now i wont have this problem in the future.

Ive always wondered how people use ms paint like that.

It does but i'm not 100% sure how to switch between the settings atm. Ill see if i can change it by tomorrow. Unfortunately my camera isn't good enough for coins.

I'm not sure how i do that. Is there a site that does it?

Ah sadly the pics are like 522 mbs due to the resolution and each coin is like 30 mbs which is higher than any site allows x.x

My grandpa left me some coins and i was just wondering what grade they seem to be. I have about 40 or 50 coins that that are sealed in rather bad cases which im changing out. I'm debating on doing the bag of early to mid 1900 coins that i have as well. I mainly wondered if they were polished and if possible to narrow down their mint states. I just thought maybe you all would be interested in helping. I'll update this whenever i have some more scanned. The first on here are booker t washington half dollars. Grandpa had written GBU for all but the first one but since gbu is between multiple mint states i dont have a clue which one they actually are. Unfortunately i am terrible at telling the difference between ms grades and its extremely confusing. One site said gbu is 65 and 66 and then another said 67 and up which just made me more confused while trying to grade these. Thanks for the help! Resolution on each coin is 2100 or so incase you want to zoom in a lot. https://imgur.com/a/InodWL0

Thanks again!

How do you find AU on ngcs ms ratings? There a lot of lettered ratings before the ms ones but none of them are au so im a bit confused about it. Yeah. I never intended to. I mainly just wondered if grandpa had bought polished ones. Ah okay. Thanks!

That's great. Now i'm debating on putting my other non proofs on here and seeing if their polished or not to since grandpa never kept records of that. Thanks again.

Thanks. Do you happen to know if they could be polished? I'm not sure how people tell that. As far as i know grandpa didn't buy polished coins but i might be wrong so i like knowing.

Its only a $100 motorola. It has 8 mp but thats not enough. I scanned them on 2400 dpi with gloves so ill upload them in a bit.
