Why a picture with all of it in there. Or a couple pictures covering all the coins.

Not too bad, and I bet you had a great time looking through them! Did you check that 1888 IH for 8/7 variety?

You would make your money back if you had it.

jk. You'd have a lot more than just your money back. You'd be leaving a huge positive feedback.

So true.

What other varieties lurke in these un-seen(by us) coins - time to get your cherry pickers guide out yorkiedad. Make sure the 1912 liberty nickel does not have a mint mark. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head - and I would have to bend down to pick up my cherry pickers guide.

Well, depending on how they grade out, it could have been worse. Where do the Indian heads and V Nickels grade? The Lincolns are all high mintages. The 44 nickel is worth about 0.40 in VF. The over-sized Kennedy half is probably a novelty piece. The bi-centenials are worth face. The big question is, would you do it again? Was it worth the $26 gamble?

I bought a nice rose toned, maybe MS-65, 1950-D nickel with awesome luster at the show on Sunday for $22.00. But whatever floats your boat!

It's worth 0.98 melt value. Plus my current RB puts VF value at $1.00.

You're right on both counts. My mistake.

As far as the copper bar goes, it looks like copper is $2.93/lb today. 1 gram of copper = 0.0022 lbs. Going by spot, it's worth $0.06. You'd think they would lose money making those things.

It's just cool to me though. I'd pay a buck for it! Never seen a copper bar before. Must have been made when copper was at record levels.

Overdate variet. The last 8 in the date was punched over a 7. Not very obvious though and very hard to spot. I'd post a closeup of the date and let the experts see it. If the 1912 is an S it's worth about $150 in G-4.

yorkiedad5 · 10-20-2009, 10:53 PM

here are the half dollars and the v nickel--, you know what I think it was just an optical illusion with the halfs, they look the same now, also the 1912 does have the (D) mint mark-- does that mean anything? still a rookie guys so you will get alot of questions, thanks--BILL-- and oh ya, this was so much fun , I will definitly do it again-- sorry the indian head was an 1989, not 88 sry

The D mint mark makes it worth more than no mint mark. On the obverse can you read any letters in "liberty?"

yorkiedad5 · 10-20-2009, 11:08 PM

nope no liberty on any of em
