Message:: [QUOTE="Kasia, post: 3273790, member: 31533"]I got through setting those coins free from that packaging. That's one less set still together. Most of the coins are quite low grade MS, which to some degree was quite apparent even while they were in the cello wrap. Not surprised for a variety of reasons, but there is one coin that really has great luster and I think would probably grade MS65. It is the Philly Quarter. I was thinking it has enough luster for a 66 grade but too many marks for that. Though I guess it could go MS64 for some. These are preliminary grades (haven't looked too hard at them). I will be taking pics over the next week and probably create a thread for them. I want to really thank my SS for this one. I rarely go further in opening up a package and freeing the coins, as many are rather common to see them at MS62 and MS63 and value wise (for resale later if one doesn't intend to keep them) it always seems better to keep the coins the way they were originally. This is fun to not worry about that and free some and see them and compare to other coins I've picked up that are also uncirculated. One thing is apparent... whether coins are found in rolls new from the mint or in this packaging, the quality (only talking about MS 60- and up) is quite 'normal' and just because they took the coins to sell in a mint set does not mean the coins had a better, more pristine minting. Really great to have this.[/QUOTE]
