It might be worth your while to contact Weimar White, a retired chemist who has investigated the effects of improper storage. In several emails...
XF40, no question.
MS64, but I hate the color. Nearly FSB.
With $15,000, buy key coins and numismatic gold. That's my advice.
According to Weimar White, retired chemist, toning on coins is like rust on iron--not a good thing no matter what it looks like.
Also, Morgan dollars, particularly the 13 from Carson City. Peace dollars, although they get awfully pricy in high grades.
Walking Liberty halves and Standing Liberty 25c, what else?
To coleguy, who said the average car costs $50,000 or more, there are lots of good cars well under $30,000. Think Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, even...
I forgot to say that the Numismatist has lots of interesting articles, but I often don't get around to reading them.
I joined in 1971 and, amazingly, am still a member. There have been times when I was tempted to not pay my dues, but somehow I've always decided...
AU50 is my guess. Lots of nice luster, but some wear, also.
I would buy numismatic gold rather than bullion pieces. That way, you have a play both ways--gold content plus value as a collectible coin. Look...
MS64, and if you can buy it at $50 over melt, what do you have to lose?
MS63, $35.
Fake! Also, does anyone else see the outline of the S mintmark that was removed to add the D? Ah, I see the person who replied above me saw it.
How could a "badly worn" S exist on a coin that's not badly worn?
No better than VG.
Okay to deal with, but I lost money on the coins I sent them to sell.
Cleaned XF.
