Walker 1916
1917
1919
1938 D

Roosevelt Dimes

i found 1964 D but i cant tell if its a double die reverse. (will get them checked)

then the 25 AU quarters i have to get checked along w/ the 6 frankies

also found only 6 1943 zincs pennies... didnt find a copper one yet :/

other than that.. i found nothing of collectable value.

Hey Log Potato,

If we mixed all our halves with his piles, we could roll in them like Uncle Scrooge McDuck :hail:

 

funny thing is my uncle said.. Screw it.. they are just coins.. let me have them

i didnt even think i had this much. i legit thought when i joined i would have a small collection... guess i was mistaking

 

Nicer Walkers (fine or better) 1916 thru 1933-S should be worth several dollars above silver melt. 1921, 1921-S, 1921-D (3 key dates - any condition)

the 1917s have OBV mintmarks & Rev mintmarks

 

And I would still want more!

 

1917 D obverse.. very nice.. are they hard to come by blzar?

the dates for the walkies i looked for are;

1916
1916s obv
all the 3 1921 like u said
1938 d

everything else is around 7.00 collectable value im told..

it took me around 4 weeks to go thru them all but sadly i didnt find many happy dates

what would u grade the quarters i showed.. those have amazing luster for those years and shine very nicely are they something to turn my attention to?
i can show dates tomorrow if it is worth it for a rough estimate if it is worth my time





what can 1958 frankin halves go for privately in the AU condition? i was told around $65 each
and how about the 38 D walker? 105$ ????

 

Here is the first part of my ProCoin software inventory of the Teen Walkers




only missing is the 1921-D

 

Silver Prices for tonight 1-30-2012 from CoinFlation

 

i am assuming you only have inventory of coins well worth above melt value.. u do not suggest i keep track of all my dimes and collection, as i only have a handful of ones that may need to be appraised.

the first part of the inventory is looks very nice, the prices are high.. i like that.. u have those key dates.. unfortunately i dont have many :/ all though i have a few that are nice, everything else is scrap pretty much

i would like to get into this alot more and go out and buy key dates but i am not sure i will ever be able to re sell them for a high price..

i can only imagine HOW MUCH you guys have had to pay to buy your collections if you did.

oo yeah i monitor coinflation every day as well as kitco and 24hourgold.com

 

I paid about $200 each for the two 1921-P (No mintmark) Walkers

 

veryyyyy niceeeee... look like you really do love your walkers!!!!! i gotta learn to price b/c i dont even know what i would sell all the walkers combined for.. melt is around $5,526

you have just as much i believe in collectable value looking at those prices

 

$39 software keeps track of all US & Canada coins.






Est, Value of my Walkers

 

doubled your money, i like seeing that.. and u beat me by 300$ hahahah ill trade your 129 coins for my 455 lol hahaah... great software.. im diggin' that. if i had collectables i would deff by that

 

Better way of saying it. Had the same intuitive feeling when I first read this. Well of course, that's coz we love coins . The grandfather sure have this......, dunno what term to use,,,,PASSION perhaps, LOVE..... What do you call a person who holds a coin and stares at it for hours? Maybe it's just me. I don't know about you guys, but I have done that (unknowingly).
Anyways, just like Caz stated, "But of course I am not you, so I have just to be jealous".

 

my grandfather i believe was into it when his father was alive.. but the will said he has not touched the coins in 20+ years.. so basically 61 years old he stopped. the only things he bought recently for me were the un-circulated rolls of states between 99-08 or whatever year they ended...

 

Do any of those Morgan dollars have CC mint marks (on the back, near the bottom)? Those are worth a significant amount of money.

 

sadly they do not.. i only have one w/ a mint mark it is a 1886 O and 1886 S but not in VF condition so im not sure if they are worth above Face Value or not

It appears that you have spent some time and learned a lot already. I am a circulation collector and yours looks like mine as far as condition goes, but mine is mostly clad instead of silver. It can be disappointing to have lower grades when everyone wants to compare what you have to the higher grades. I had to resolve that I have what I have through search time and effort, not by just monetary investment. A decade ago I determined to convert my duplicates and lowest grade stock into better grade specimens or missing dates. It has been a long, slow process. I started with less than half of my coins in series or type albums and this month I now have all denominations over 70% and 75% overall. To put it the other way, I started with over half of my collection raw and now I only have 25% raw. At the same time I went from about 1500 coins to 5100. I attribute most of that to the explosion of modern types (cents, nickels, quarters & dollars) since 1999.
I wish you well and hope you get much pleasure learning more about these crazy coins.

 

So did it turn out to not be 4000+ mercuries, but rather a combination of mercuries and roosevelts?

 

around 1800 merc's and the rest roosevelts. why??
