<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mralexanderb, post: 421686, member: 7851&quot;]<b>More of the story</b></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />hya:IMO the 1914S looks MS and the 1920S looks AU. The toning is a pale green on each coin. The 14S does not have any &quot;bag marks&quot; and is in really pristine condition. The 20S looks quite good also except the photos brought out the small marks on the right cheek. I suggested to my friend that he have them graded as he isn&#039;t a coin collector and these coins need to be protected. He doesn&#039;t want to sell them unless he needs the money. Getting them graded is the only way he&#039;ll be able to get a fair idea of what they&#039;re worth.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When he brought these coins to me to look at, he had them in a baggie with 6 or 7 Washington quarters, and a Mercury Head dime. The story he got from his wife is, that this 40ish year old man came in on a bicycle and bought a pack of cigarettes with the silver coins. She had seen him before and thought he was either homeless or a local that lived nearby. He&#039;s always on the bicycle.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My thinking on this is that if he wasn&#039;t the legitimate owner/collector he didn&#039;t have these coins for very long and just spent them for change. I can&#039;t speculate where he got hem from. You would think that anybody seeing these 2 Buffalo nickels had to know they were worth more than 5 cents each. Even the Merc dime stands out as well as old worn Washington Quarters. You just never know when coins like these will come your way in change. My gut feeling is this man may not be of sound mind and may not really realize what he had or, maybe, doesn&#039;t care.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>More photos same coins. I took 2 photos of each at work in a hurry so I hope I didn&#039;t switch the reverses. I don&#039;t think so but anything is possible.:computer:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
