Nice work. When shopping for CFL bulbs, we need to be very careful to buy the right ones. Certainly daylight is better but more of the ones sold...
All are easily identifiable at least to ruler. Most have enough mint mark showing to get the city. I see a range of about 120 years starting in...
My only concern here is how you know the value if you can't ID the coin. Certainly there is nothing wrong with paying the extra if you are sure...
