<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rosethe, post: 738097, member: 21556&quot;]Thanks for clearing up the mint mark issue. It sure makes sense that it is just the holder and not the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will try to get a better photo, I don&#039;t however want to take them out of the holder at this stage. I will go with a better camera and try again for both sides. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know that even though they were appraised at a reputable coin shop that does not guarantee them authentic. If they were graded at one of the grading companies, would that clear up every doubt?</p><p><br /></p><p>Going back to the safe box on Monday.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you all, it is a wealth of knowledge for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>My father would have loved this site, he passed before sites like this existed.</p><p>I did show him ebay, and coins on there, before he passed in 2001</p><p><br /></p><p>The way he purchased coins in the 1960&#039;s was amazing.</p><p>I call them &#039;gentlemen notes&#039;:smile</p><p>I believe he would read in the trade paper of a coin available for sale. He would write a note and mail it, with all the &#039;formalities&#039; --- Would the gentleman consider this price.....</p><p>I am sorry to inform you that regrettably, this coin has been sold....</p><p>It must have took ages!</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember seeing many of these notes for coin deals.</p><p>And I think it was a trust transaction through the US mail. You send the money and hope you get the coin. </p><p>Think of that, nowadays every little thing is scammed in some way!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for the help, and I wish my father could have been in your ranks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
