<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 268477, member: 3726"]I would wait until you received them - if you do return them then you might be out only s&h. Then I would take them to a local dealer - let them look at them and maybe show you some better examples. The thing I like most about my local dealer is that I can hold the coins in person, get them to talk to me about them. Trust me - holding the coins in hand makes a big difference than looking at pictures. It is much easier to grade coins in hand than from pictures. So look at a lot of coins in hand, ask questions, and buy a few coins from the dealer(they do not have to be expensive). My local dealer is just as happy to sell me low dollar coins as high dollar coins. So come back post pictures, ask questions and everybody will be happy to help. Also remember some are brutally harsh on this board, but they do not mean to offend. Also what we see in pictures may not be what you see in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not know enough about these coins to tell if they are cleaned - I can't tell if those streaks are on the holder for the kennedy or on the coin itself. On the dime I could not tell if that was glare or frostiness on the dime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
