<p>[QUOTE="claycad, post: 1156398, member: 17987"]I wouldn't have bought them for that reason. Buying something like that I would want to see a close up of each coin front and back to make sure that all the dates and mint marks were clearly visible, or at least a close up of the most valuable ones. If I were selling something for that price I wouldn't mind offering to send bidders better pictures upon request and I would have at least put a close up the the most valuable coins, probably the 1921, 1921D and 1938D coins to begin with. In this case the pictures offered, the most valuable coin of the bunch, the 1921D, looks pretty worn. I would have requested a close up to verify the mint mark first.</p><p><br /></p><p>Assuming the mint marks and dates are visible, I would say you got a good deal though. Although to me, buying a whole set at once like that kinda takes away the fun of the searching. Even if I'm collecting low grade coins I want to search out each coin individually to get the best low grade coin I can get.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
