    Sorry, Need bigger scans to get any accurate grade. Try photobucket and then post the "Img" link from the uploaded image. There are many threads on how to do this if you run a search.

    Great short run set to own!!! Most people have never even seen them before!

    Sorry about the small scans. Kinda new to this. I did it on a scanner. Some come out okay and some don't!! I have not figured it out yet. Please disregard these and I will try to fix them.

    Thanks,

    Vic

    If you use photobucket they can be any size. If you use attachments I think they have to be under 250mb or something like that - if not then the site resizes them for you. With photobucket you get a free account. Then you just upload the pictures, select the pictures, generate html, then cut and paste the html code into the post. Not hard if I can figure it out. :)

    Just from what I see, about 30-35 bucks a piece. F-12 condition at best.

    I expanded the pic 400% and a guick guess would be G-4 10-15 bucks,
    that is without the coins in hand.

    Even at G-4 they still are worth 30-35 bucks apiece. These a very collectable coins and people will pay that much just to have one. The series was only out for three years and the first year was the coveted proofs only. So with the remaining two years you have only just over 40 million made that at their age would leave only so many that are in mint shape. When these coins came out, people lined up around the mint to exchange their large cents in to get them. They were used frequently because they are a penny and that was a coin used very much by people. So, I think these coins can get that amount. If you have one of these in this condition for 10 bucks send me message and I will buy it off you:)
