I would consider an auction house such as Great Collections. They have an excellent archive for previous auctions which should help you assess the value of your collection. In addition, Ian offers some of the lowest sales cost of any auction houses around as well as pretty much doing all the dirty work for you. Good luck!

Suction Cup Smudge on Proof Coins?

He said it could not be returned which is disappointing to say the least. i prefer purchasing these types of issues already slabbed by a TPG so these types of issues are more easily avoided. -

It can sure seem they’re stupid around here more often than necessary based on some responses. That gets followed by explanations of excuses as to why said responses weren’t really meant to be rude acknowledging pretty much that they are / were. I understand there are trolls and bad posts and people in general who don’t care about our hobby. But I also believe if we wish our hobby to be sustained we need to be a little more careful with those “newbies” who have a genuine interest. Perhaps we need to show a little more patience and understanding that no they don’t know all the correct terminology or nuances of our hobby and we need to help them learn in a more positive way. -

I would leave them as they are and perhaps display them for enjoyment! Most likely they are common date and not worth extensive premiums. it is also not recommended to clean them or have them cleaned.

The Roosevelt dimes in the silver years of 1946 - 1964 is a great set and can be economical to collect in relatively high grades. There are quite a few collectors who seek out FT specimens only which by NGC standards is the toughest in the industry. In order to qualify as a FT specimen the top and bottom bands must be fully split. In addition, the vertical bands must show definition. There are several dates and mints that are famous for beautiful toning from sitting in albums for years, especially Wayne Raymond albums. Several of the original mint sets from the 50’s can also impart impressive toning. Toning is in the eyes of the beholder and is sought after in all series by some collectors.

If you believe it is a DDR. Send it in to a TPG for certification. It would sell at a higher price if certified by an independent grading organization. Good luck.
