1973 Mint Set Break Outs

So I have collected a few of these to get the Ikes since they were not released for ciculation. I will post a few picks of the break outs. Maybe it would be useful to someone else or otherwise entertaining

First Mint Set - Each Set included Phil, Denver and a SF cent

Shame about the chin on the half.

 

The 1973 D Cent should get a refund from the treasury.

 

mint worker sweat
beetle feces
saliva remnants

who knows what created that beastly coin

 

the 73 D Nickel is an off center strike, FWIW.

 

SET II

 

Aside from the Ikes, I can't decide if some of these nickles are 5 steps and worth grading.

 

And the second sets 1973 S Cent seems much better than average. the colums are striaded.

 

Most marvelous photogs dear fellow.......

 

Someone here showed me how to handle the camera.

 

this 1973 Reverse is nearly flawless, right? That has to be wrth grading.

On such an example (which is lovely, comely, but lacking a bit in perfection) if you want it graded, buy it graded........

 

No I am sorry but IMO not worth grading unless you can get a 67 or better. The fields have a few hits as well as the lettering. The spot at 12oclock on the obverse rim. So very nice, but not worth the cost to grade.
