<p>[QUOTE="Sula86, post: 2719200, member: 82272"]Ive looked at these when I see them for sale and often your right, they contain nothing but cleaned or worn common coins. So I've stayed away from them unless they are priced for their silver content as junk silver. Sometimes you get lucky though. I took a shot awhile back on a Kennedy Half framed set that had bad pictures, but the price was actually under silver melt so I didn't mind doing so. The coins were actually in great shape so I was really surprised. Some of them did have some wild toning though but that can be marketable because they are very unique. I don't particularly collect Kennedy halves, other than having some for their silver content. I'm not at home right now or I'd post some pictures. I'll pull them out and put some pictures up when I get the chance. I actually also just bought one of those books containing the coins and stamps of the years of world war 2. Has a half, quarter, dime, nickel and penny for each year from 1942 to 1945. The pictures weren't the greatest but seemed to possibly have potential condition wise. Of course they are common years. I paid almost 41 dollars with shipping for them so even if they are cleaned it won't be an issue since the silver is currently worth more than that. They are still enroute to me so I haven't received them yet. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nice pickup on the SLQ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
