Anyone care to guess what dates are on these coins? I have my own guesses, but I want to see what everyone else thinks.
In this condition, they are not worth much since they're not key dates, right? (Even if we can't tell exactly what the dates are)
If you can't tell for certain what the dates are, the coin is essentially ungradeable. You can squint and peer and interpolate, but the last digit on those coins (at least, in the pictures) is undiscernable. The coins are worth a few cents at most - someone might like them for jewelry. Or, spend them and hope a kid gets them. It might get them excited about coins.
The term lowball refers to a Poor-1 or Fair-2 coin. In order to be gradeable, there must be a readable date (or a unique, single-date type). On these coins, that is questionable. If, in hand, the date is not readable, the coins are not gradeable - and thus wouldn't qualify as lowballs.
