As one can see from the mintages listed above these are key and semi keys dates and mint marks.
Two do have issues ,detail grades,the rest do grade....but I couldn't pass these up as you don't ever find these dates and mint marks at a show.
When you do they are usually priced according and in lower grades.
So this is an exciting purchase as it closes quite a few gaps until a better coin comes along.....which may never happen so I decieded to treat myself this month for my 65th!
I do appreciate @C-B-D @lordmarcovan and @ToughCOINS for their parts in helping me aquire these specimems.
Now only to track down and purchase the 65,66,and 67 dates..... yeah their mintantages are in the thousands not tens of thousands....

 

Yeah some aren't pretty just pretty rare...so one takes what one gets until a better one surfaces.

 

1929 Standing Liberty quarter

 

Not much in the last couple of days till last night, a 1945 s War Nickel and a 2002 Ohio silver proof

 

I picked this dime up as a hole filler, but a closer look shows something going on around the M and E of DIME on the reverse. I'm sure someone here can tell me stuff about it.


The dealer sold me this and two other coins for $3, saving me $1.10 after we had talked for a bit. He was one I had dealt with before, which points out how helpful it is to know your dealer!

 

A little something me wife found.

 

Love this Standing Liberty.

@Paddy54

Me thinks you like half dimes.

 

I got a couple

 

Finished my Roosevelt Dime set unexpectedly today. Paid $59, which comes out to about 12x face. Seemed like too good of a deal to pass up.
