No answers to our questions , I guess........ Orson Welles perhaps would say ..............There will be no reply's before there time . Oh well . I am more than happy to work with new members but if there are only posts and no reply's it is not much help. Sorry dprince1138

I think the OP is looking to resell these coins and using this forum for justification to ask for the higher prices. There is saying us old guys use a lot. ( You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear )

I am still unsure what you are trying to sell the members with all this information. Your comparisons have a lot of words but there are always two words missing on most of the coins you have posted. You may want to consider adding (Cleaned ) and (Details ) to your list. Just a suggestion .

I have seen this coin before. When I bid on a coin I look it up before the bid. A few times I have found . Half's and Morgan's on the reverse

I would do the same, I would want them graded on there own merits. Not on what the other guy says.

I have to ask. Jimbo. Did you crack them before you sent them in?

I hope all goes well. Kurt

Thanks for thinking of me Bill. LoL I am all set the 2023 Denver coins are starting too show up more now because it is almost 2024

Welcome, Yes it is a small date and no it is not worth grading . It is only worth a cent.

Yes they are ice cube trays. They hold the five coins of each year for the state and park quarters easy to sort out and you can stack them to store them neatly.

Yes Kurt, The 05-10 coins are not easy to find like these two I posted. I have found some proofs out there but I have never found a SP coin in the wild. That would be a unlikely find IMO.

I look for the smallest amount of damage with clean rims. With nickels it is not easy the edge on a new coin can make marks all over right from the mint bin before they are even bagged up.

So these may not look like much. but trying to find 2006 Return to Monticello circulated coins in good shape is another cool find.

Wow the older mint sets were coins they found on the bottom of the bin . LoL just a joke .. But all my old mint set coins are not very nice.

So are you asking for advice on this ungraded coin or telling us your opinion ?

I would say you are good to go with taking coins from mint sets. Many people do just that to make up coin folders. Uncirculated coin rolls may only be labeled that way unless they are directly from the Mint. Bank rolls are not necessarily uncirculated although you may find some acceptable coins that way .

Even a die crack is not considered to be valuable, just a neat thing to find .

I never got any kind of a answer to my question. So after seeing the generic response I came to the conclusion we were just dealing with another (Slick) .

Ya Greg I found that in a common bank roll. I was going to send it out I believe it is a Ragged Fisher. I will keep what I call book coins. I save Cents, Nickels and Quarters. I cherry pick anything above AU. Over time I save 3 to 5 of each year then take the best one's and get a folder to put them in. I also save any die cracks or clash's depending on the severity. You can just buy complete sets but then you miss all the fun stuff. Like this rare 2009 D. It is beat up but try and find one in pocket change . This is how I save coins by date.

I do not need it graded to find out . To me it is priceless. It is only worth what someone will pay me for it. The worth can be estimated or suggested but in the end it is only worth what it is worth to someone else. I buy graded coins so others will know the worth. Is that answer worthy.

About a year ago I unknowingly purchased a 1861 $2.5 Liberty Head that had previously had a post on it. It was a nice VF 35 in a 2x2 holder and whoever removed the post had filled the hole with gold and did a nice job . You could not see the coin edge until I removed it from the 2x2 when I got it home. Needless to say the coin had lost its numismatic value and I was able to return it and get another gold coin. Sorry to say you Rooster has the same issue. but yours can still be a nice neckless. By the way the other gold coins are very nice looking, and Sandon has given you some excellent information on your items.

I am not sure what dprince is doing ? From the bits and pieces I have heard him talking about it sounds like he looks for odd die characteristics on cheap old coins. Then resells them ungraded with his higher priced evaluation. Am I close on this guess dprince1138 ?

Well take care of yourself Greg and pop in any time you need a laugh.

How do you get the wreath and devices to pop when the field is all scratchy and edges of the coin are almost worn away?

Sounds like a good show. Wish I could have been there.
