Last week I found a 15-S and it turned out real nice. I had actually sold a "non doctored" 15-S that day at work for $40 and mine looked better.
I knew I had a potential buyer so I asked the boss what he wanted for it. He said $10. I sold the coin for $12 and gave my boss $10. Key was I was up front about it. Heck, I showed the guy how I did it. I've been experimenting with my technique and getting better.
So yes, the coins do have value. It's a way to fill holes a lot cheaper. When I can sell a $40 coin for $12 and both parties are satisfied it's worth it. Just be up front about it as many collectors would NOT know it's acid dated. |
Thank you very much for your answer it was very helpful. I have many coins at home with dates not showing and I think this will be interesting to try. Have a great Thanksgiving!
