and the reverses....

 

and the 2Mark w/extra photos of the coins .... (WOW I posted 15 pics for 5coins and 1 notes worth ...is that a record?)

 

Your mercury has excellant detail . All look like great picks.

Edit* OK, I didn't see you bought a mint set. I still think you came out great. Nice note.

 

Nice set of coins...one problem, the Mint did not make Mint Sets or Proof Sets during the WWII era, 1943/44/45/46, but if you got all these for $37 bucks, you did good.

In other words, this was assembled from MS coins. I now see the capitol plastics holder.

 

ya looked that up when I came home and was like "wow ok"

 

Love that Walker:thumb:

 

The Walking Liberty Half and Washington Quarter don't look uncirculated.

WLH: middle of robe, eagle left wing

Wash. Q: cheek of Washington, bottom of Washington's bust, some wear in the hair and wear on the top of the eagle's breast.

The other coins may be sliders as well but it's hard to tell with photos that are out of focus and don't encompass the entire coin.

 

I think for $37 you did really well

 

Yeah, that was a very good buy!!

 

yaknow I was lookin at that walker and mabye will latter look for a grading tip online but I garuntee the Washington is Unc. hard to from pics but the cheek has only a couple minor nicks and personally think it is only weakly struck

 

Weakly struck parts of the coin still exhibit luster though, take a look at Washington's cheek in the first picture and you can see a graying on the high parts. I'm not an expert to ask, but that's just what I think.

 

hmmm.. get what your saying ...there are areas of toning on the coin (ex. just to the right of washington's mouth) buy I still think its Unc. in all honesty hard to tell not in hand, will be posting some more pics for ya

 

some more pics of the Washington....

 

Your bill reminded me of one I have:

 

This is a little off topic but what do you use for a camera? Those are pretty good pics.

 

oh wow if your refering to me....its a Kodac with a bankers lamp and a 10X loupe....pretty sophisticed stufff

 

That is not "Nazi stuff", since Nazis have used Reichsmarks. What you have is Rentenmark, something that was in use until 1948, but first appeared way before the Nazis started taking over.

It is still worth about $3.00 though.

 

hmmmm. ok sry but just not the paper money type .... thanks for the correction

 

The Quarter looks unc. to me.
