<p>[QUOTE="rsand, post: 1665767, member: 40749"]Hi all - I bought a tube of 1960 Roosevelts that had been sealed with tape and then stored in baby oil! I'd never heard of such a technique, but from the age of the tape I can tell that they'd been sealed in there for a long, long time. I've taken a few out so far and they look really terrific. Of course, like most silver coins, according to the price guides they really have little value above melt unless they are MS-65 or higher. PCGS says that the "FB" strikes are worth a few dollars more, which leads me to the fairly ignorant question, how do I tell if one of these qualifies for full bands? Neither my grading standards book nor Photograde have any explanation or examples. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the first two coins in the tube:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]247063.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]247064.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]247065.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]247066.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any advice!</p><p><br /></p><p>-Richard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
