I got a little scared of how high things might get when a set of 10 '74 Kennedy halves (nothing special about them, maybe 50-60 grade) went for $15 and then a set of 10 Wheaties from '45-'50 went for $10. But after that I figured no one else there was a collector as I overheard the winning bidder for the halves say something about how rare Kennedy halves are (I laughed a little on the inside). </p><p> </p><p>All of the nickels are from '20-'37. Roughly 45 of them would grade from a 4 to an 8 (all the dates and mint marks are still visible, but they are worn pretty smooth). 15 or so would grade around a 20 (some a little higher, some a little lower). And the rest would grade somewhere in the 30 range, with a couple of them possibly grading as high as a 40. </p><p> </p><p>Unfortunately there weren't any double dies or "3 leggers".
