I waited a long time to hear the end of this story and for once... I got a happy ending!!! congrats rosethe!!!!
All I know Its about 55 years of collecting and I'm going out on a limb. all three are the 1955 Double dies, Your father knew.
They look G, VG and F to me from the reverses. The obverses definitely look a grade better on each. If any of these are AU, I'm REALLY going to reevaluate my circulated wheat hoard.
If you are talking about the three 55 D/D's, they certified MS-63, AU-50, and authentic but cleaned. See post #23 and then start re-evaluating.
I thought I would *bump* this thread back up for those to see who have joined CT in recent years. I cannot believe it's going on 5 years since I posted about my deceased father's collection. The collection is still in tact. I've only sold a few rolls of Roosevelt dimes to cover the cost of grading. Much of the best gold and unusual coins have now been graded. There is still a stack of $20 Gold not graded, which I don't expect would get above a MS 61 -62.
