  1. I found a 2000 D sacagawea dollar at a pawn shop today. Its in plastic case with a pretty little piece of cardboard that tells about the coin. Well the coin its self is Rainbow toned, its never been out of the holder, no scratches or anything like that, but the entire reverse and obverse are almost completely rainbow toned. Just looking for help on this coin to see if its worth buying for 5 bucks. Ive done a little research on toning but not found any for the Sacagawea coins. Thanks

    Proof sets like you describe are readily available.

    It is very unlikely that any of the coins in the set will justify the cost of authentication and grading plus 2-way postage.

    If you post a photo of each side, members might offer comments.

    The main thing I was concerned with was if it is type 1 or type 2. From what I have read, type 2's especially the Susan b Anthony are worth alot more money than face

  3. Found a 1981 S proof set at my local pawn shop today. The penny has some sort or corrosion on it, not sure what that's about being in the hard plastic cases, but, the rest of the set is in BEYOND perfect condition, no scratches, dings, they all look like mirrors and look brand new. I really cant tell of any of them are type 1 or type 2 but I can clearly see the "S" perfect and plain as day on every coin, no blobs, but can't be 100% sure due to waiting on my scope to come in. That being said, are any of the coins in the set worth getting graded. I'm hoping the penny doesnt cause any big problems with the set. Thanks in advance.

  4. I have done some research on the 1971 proof mint sets that were released, I do not have a copy of cherry pickers (yet). What I have read is that there were some S minted ones that have doubling on "in god we trust" and "liberty" and "1971". I do not have a good magnifying glass to see the double but it looks like it does certain ways I hold it. Is it true that one way of knowing if it does, is if the "in God we trust" decreases from left to right? On mine you can see the starting of it perfect, but towards the end specifically on the "trust" the top of "ST" is barely visible. Thanks in advance. Will try to upload pictures when I get home.

    NGC price guide lists a MS 63 (the lowest grade they have listed with a price) at $300, but Ebay sales indicate that circulated examples, which yours appears to be, sell in the $100-$150 price range. I think you would be better off selling it raw with good pictures. I would guess the grade as AU55.

    Thank you for the response. I've done a little research on it and found that most people will just sell them upgraded.

    This OP excepted:

    I think I've figured out why the later generations (than mine) want to think that many merely chemically damaged coins might be errors. They grew up without chemistry sets and Cub Scout activity sets and the like. My generation all knew about discoloring metals because we had stuff that did it on purpose.

    This is 100% true. The only thing I know is copper turns green, and one of the only reasons I know that is because is the "statue of liberty". I've just got into coins and the whole metal composition of it gets me really confused really quick. Thank you for your input any help is great help.
