  1. 2024 Illinois Innovation dollars. Yeah I know , nobody like these.
  2. That is one of the best examples of a shattered die that I have seen . Can’t wait to see the entire coin. Was this found from a new roll?
  3. Please provide full cropped images of both sides of your coin. Microscope pictures do not help. Feel free to add them but do include the full coin. That is an interesting hit but still PMD post mint damage imo. Welcome to the forum.
  4. Welcome to the forum. I would recommend two resources first the Red Book coin valuation guide second the PCGS coin valuation app which provides HD photos of every type of coin with values for comparison. your set is nice because it displays toning which a lot of folks like. additionally the bicentennial set has more interest as well. 👋
  5. Very unusual! Especially the bubble on Monticello and what looks like a die crack. The only thing I can speculate is someone put this in a press of some sort which squeezed metal all over. I don’t believe this is any kind of mint damage but PMD. A keeper of interest though
  6. Looks like a 1914,16 or 18 struck through grease. Still worth a penny though.
  7. I have all of the proof sets from 1955-2023. Not a single set is toned, discolored, or fogged. I chose reasonably pricy Intercept shield boxes. Which are supposed to help prevent such discoloration, fogging etc. the boxes close tightly and pretty much eliminate air infiltration plus all sets are in their OGP. Time will tell, I guess. Like you, Rob, I love proof sets! I don’t plan on breaking them up, submitting them for grading or anything other than saving them for my grandchildren. I bought six boxes and about $17 each for the sets.
  8. I have the PF69 UC Ngc and the PF69 DCAM Pgcs but not the 70’s
  9. What I meant was that they are rare as no PF70 exists in NGC.
  10. I did as it sat around 35 until the last few seconds then shot up at the very end
  11. A PCGS graded Proof 70 Silver S bicentennial quarter. Note: there are none in NGC registry.
  12. Thank God you noticed powermad5000, I was starting to think nobody noticed! This would have certainly been my remarkable coin in this lot. NeverEC, do you realize how rare that is?
  13. Yes haha must have been thinking Roger should be engraved on a coin! I just don’t see the VDB if at all partially on the rim
  14. My question about this 1941 cent is where is the RWB?
  15. You’re right JP, impossible to find wheaties in any change these days. But a $17 roll had this very nice 41 in it and that was worth the admission
  16. Proceed carefully! You must make sure the coin is worth the grading fee before submitting. For valuation , if in fact they are proofs, I would estimate them at pr66. Chances are you won’t achieve 69 or 70. IMHO few cents are worth the grading fee but not knowing what you have I could only guess
  17. Like this? Some company plates Kennedy’s and Eagles with 24k gold and calls the BLACK RUTHENIUM they are commonly available for $19.95 on EBay and worth 50 cents
  18. It appears to me that the overall acceptance to the NGCX grading system is not catching on. Looks to me that the Sheldon scale is the way to go.
  19. Welcome to the forum. It would be a requirement to see full sized cropped photos of your coin in order to help make a determination on your coin. Another factor is if it is Silver or Clad, then we can determine if it is truly proof or MS grade. A Silver 1976 bicentennial proof 70 is about $80, however at least 70% of new proof coins achieve that score. Look up the details on that coin and weigh it to two decimal places. We’ll wait….
