<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1068473, member: 27832&quot;]LOL! I didn&#039;t do <i>that</i> well. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The 1906-D dime looks to me to be EF-AU details, but probably cleaned at some point, and now spotted unattractively. The 1853 is actually a HALF dime, with arrows, damaged and cleaned. Neither was a disappointment; when I see a &quot;shiny&quot; coin in an auction like this, I assume it&#039;s cleaned, and bid accordingly.</p><p><br /></p><p>The seated halves are better than I expected; one looks like G details with some old scratches, and the other looks maybe VG with no significant problems.</p><p><br /></p><p>The two proof Ikes are impaired; one has spotting around a hole in the reverse of the holder, and the other has some schmutz that appears to be on the coin itself. The Canadian dollar looks pretty good, with plenty of luster, but it&#039;s nothing special.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, I feel like I got my money&#039;s worth. It&#039;s the hunt I enjoy more than the having, so I actually do find this shopping style more rewarding than picking through a coin store&#039;s inventory.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll try to post a run-down with some photos later this evening.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
